EAST OF TLAXIACO

The country east of Tlaxiaco undulates over small fertile vales and green pine-forested hilltops, many crowned with the ruins of ancient buried towns and cities. Two of the largest and most interesting of those ruins are at Achiutla and Huamelulpan, not far from Tlaxiaco.

San Miguel Achiutla

The archaeological site at Achiutla (ah-shee-YOO-tlah, pop. 1,000) stands among Oaxaca’s historically most intriguing, partly because it contains both pre- and post-conquest ruins. These include the remains of the earthquake-collapsed original Dominican church and a grand pre-conquest ruined complex, once the site of a renowned 15th-century Mixtec oracle.
