The archeological site in nearby Atzompa is one of the hidden treasures of Oaxaca. Well, it is not really hidden, but for some reason, no one ever goes there. It is still under a multi-year renovation, but a great deal of the site is done and simply breathtaking. And I do mean breathtaking, as the hike up to the top always leaves one panting... or maybe that's just me. Anyway, it is way up there and provides some beautiful views of the area. It was an contemporary of Monte Alban and from its highest point, one can see very far in all directions. No doubt, that was one of its advantages. That's Monte Alban over there.
The place is one of my meditations. I can see it from my house and always feel so lucky to be so close. Whenever I want a good workout, I pop over and huff and puff my way up. I can dream about playing on the largest ballpark in the area.
As you can see, the weather remains spectacular.

Sí, tiene razón. I was there last year and it is very peaceful and ancient and has wonderful views of Oaxaca and beyond. A remarkable place.
It does look so peaceful!
