Tourism in Oaxaca: San José El Mogote

Posteado el April 9, 2007 - Categorizado en Mexico Tourism, Oaxaca Tourism, San José El Mogote

After guided tours of Monte Alban, Mitla and Teotitlan are you ready to explore further on your own? A perfect starting place is San José El Mogote; a small thriving Zapotec community founded a thousand years before Monte Alban. You can reach El Mogote easily from Oaxaca in a half hour, using public transportation. The Festival of San José a four day celebration beginning the third week in March is a further incentive.

An easy, inexpensive way to get to El Mogote is by the bus for Navareno which leaves from the north side of Perferico, just east of where it intersects with Privada de las Flores. Many buses stop there, so be sure you board one with NAVARINO on the windshield. Tell the driver to let you off at El Mogote. The bus heads northwest along Highway 190 and at the sign to Navareno turns west on a secondary road, crosses railroad tracks and reaches your stop, a concrete bus stop shelter on your left. Busses from Navareno back to Oaxaca pass here as frequently as every fifteen minutes…
Standing in this quiet, extraordinarily beautiful place one cannot but experience a sense of peace and, a sense of the human struggle and sacrifice undergone to achieve it (it is always an interesting experience to try learning spanish advanced courses abroad). Come to Oaxaca and enjoy all the best of the Mexico Tourism.
