We will arrive at the resting point called La Mona where we will talk about the rituals and stories that people tell about that place, the name of Oaxaca and why we have it and then continue walking to the highest point of the walk, there we will be able to have a 360 view of the city. Among pine trees we will reach the architectural area that is free and we will be able to talk about the ball game that we will have in front of us as well as the temples and rituals of the Zapotecs.

The perfect day to exercise in an incredible place.
