The 15 Best Things to Do in Oaxaca (Updated 2025)

"To get context for the rest of my visit I stop at the museum and then wander Monte Albán’s sprawling pre‑Columbian site—founded in the 6th century BCE and a UNESCO World Heritage Site—filled with Zapotec pyramids, tombs, terraces, and canals; it’s super impressive, takes a few hours, is about 15 minutes outside town (regular shuttles available), and admission is 90 MXN." - Matthew Kepnes
