For hundreds of years, southern Mexico was the territory of one of the great pre-Hispanic civilizations: the Zapotec Indians. On the top of the mountains, overlooking the city of Oaxaca, the site of Monte Alban – a beautifully preserved city-state – still bears witness to their power and the refinement of their culture. 

Despite the Spanish conquest, their legacy lives on today, within the city and its rites.
