Oaxaca ruin Sites
Oaxaca has many ruins with ancient art and architecture. There are opportunities to volunteer on
archaeological projects and on other projects which will give an in depth look at the culture
. Oaxaca has some great ancient cities clustered in three valleys reachable within an hours drive from
Oaxaca City.
Premier among the State of Oaxaca's ancient places would be Monte Alban, a huge complex of
pyramidal platforms that looms above the city of Oaxaca at 6,300 feet. The city was carved out a
mountaintop in 500 BC and took shape over the next 1200 years, finally becoming inexplicably
abandoned around 750 AD at the height of its power.
