Monte Alban

Monte Alban is an amazing experience. We were on a tour to it with Viktor who is Mexican. Ever since he was 8 years old it has been his life’s ambition to visit Monte Alban, and we guessed he’s now in his 50s. I had never even heard of it before we went, so had zero expectations. Made me wonder how our experiences differed.

Anyway, enough of that. It is an extraordinary ancient city, and as always in Mexico stands at about 2,000m. It was so good, we actually took ourselves off there the following day to take another look.

Here’s a small selection of the pictures – and it’s almost impossible to do it justice.
