Monte Alban, is a must...

Monte Alban, is a must see experience, we went on April and it was hot, bring a hat and sunscreen. We also enjoyed the Alebrije stop and the barro de negro presentation-shop. My one recommendation for the guide is to give a short synopsis of Monte Alban, and give more time to visitors to explore.(we only had like 35 minutes and time to go)
