(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Zona Arqueologica de Monte Alban
Monte Alban, one of the oldest and most influential of all ancient Mesoamerican cities is an absolute must when you visit Oaxaca. Although lesser-known than famous sites in other regions, the history and heritage of Monte Alban will blow you away.
Oaxaca
We then head to Atzompa, renowned for its continuation of ancient traditions and in particular, ceramics. Atzompa was historically one of the barrios of Monte Alban and has its own ceremonial hilltop with ancient temples in the middle of town. We will visit the studio of a famous artist who mixes the traditional elements and building techniques with his own style and modern touches. Not only is the quality of the highest level, but you will notice how the artist continues to use ancient motifs and symbolism as part of the artistic process.
Oaxaca
We return to Oaxaca for lunch in Tierra del Sol, one of the most renowned restaurants in the city. The location is fabulous, on the terrace overlooking the Sto. Domingo complex and the city skyline, but the food is the real star here. Traditional Mixtec recipes using only the finest local ingredients, the chefs are widely regarded as the best in town.
