THE PART MOST VISITORS ARE MISSING

Monte Albán does not explain itself.

Only about one in four structures at Monte Albán has interpretive signage at all, and some of those signs are faded, weathered or difficult to read. That means you can be standing in front of something extraordinary with no explanation of who used it, what happened there or why it mattered. That is why we created this tour.

The ruins are only half the story. The people, rituals, politics and meaning are the part you cannot see.
