Highlights

It is the only short hike in the mountains of the city and from here you can spend an incredible morning with the view of the valley at sunrise without having to spend a whole day traveling, you can also visit the archaeological zone at the end of your hike. We have been doing the walks for more than 3 years and you will be able to hear the legends and stories of those of us who live near the archaeological zone. You can take a taxi or a bus to return to the city, it is the perfect way to enjoy the city, climb a mountain and also see the Zapotec city. The activity only takes 2 and a half hours, so if you have other activities in your day you can do them without having to allocate a whole day to an incredible hike in the mountains of Oaxaca.

About Oaxaca City

Oaxaca City is the colonial capital of Oaxaca state, a stone-built highland city of markets, mole, mezcal and Zapotec ruins nearby.

Oaxaca de Juárez sits in a high valley at about 1,500 metres, its centre built of pale green stone around a shaded zócalo. The baroque church of Santo Domingo, with its gilded interior, and the attached former convent, now a cultural museum, are the grandest sights. Streets run with market stalls, painted walls and courtyard cafés, and the historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
