La Mona: A Glimpse into Oaxaca's Rich History

Getting There

• Public Bus

  From the central area of Oaxaca, head to the nearest bus station, which is located at Calle de la Libertad. Look for the bus signs indicating routes to 'Xoxocotlán' or 'San Agustín'. Purchase a ticket from the vendor or pay the driver directly (approximately 10-15 pesos). Board the bus and ride for about 20-30 minutes. Get off at the stop closest to the intersection of Calzada de la República and Calle de la Paz. Once you get off, walk towards the south on Calzada de la República for about 10 minutes until you reach 365P+Q5.

• Taxi or Rideshare

  If you prefer a more direct route, you can take a taxi or use a rideshare app like Uber. Simply set your destination to '365P+Q5, 68154 Oaxaca de Juárez, Oax.' The ride should take approximately 10-15 minutes from the center of Oaxaca, depending on traffic. Make sure to confirm the fare beforehand if you are taking a taxi.

• Walking

  If you are close to the center of Oaxaca and enjoy walking, you can make your way to La Mona by walking. Start from the Zócalo (main square) and head west along Calle de Alcalá until you reach the intersection with Calle de la Paz. Turn left on Calle de la Paz and continue straight. After about 15-20 minutes of walking, you will reach the intersection with Calzada de la República. Turn right and walk for another 5 minutes until you arrive at 365P+Q5.
