About the ticket
Step into Mitla, a remarkable Mixtec–Zapotec archaeological site renowned for its exceptionally preserved geometric stonework. As you walk through the ruins, learn why Mitla takes its name from Mictlan, the Nahuatl word for the underworld, and uncover its deep spiritual significance.
Once an important ceremonial center, Mitla features distinctive cross-shaped tombs, rows of imposing stone columns, and elevated chambers richly decorated with intricate patterns. These spaces were once used by Zapotec high priests and reflect the site’s role as a center of ritual and belief.
After exploring the ruins, stroll through the cactus garden within the archaeological park and enjoy the natural surroundings. Before leaving, visit the nearby craft market at the entrance, where local artisans offer traditional folk art and handmade goods.
