Oaxaca
City - Long a favorite with hikers and joggers, the area
is great for bird watching in the early morning hours. There
are also ramps for wheelchair access, but the inclines tend
to be steep.
Home to the Guelaguetza
Auditorium, as well as the city's observatory and planetarium,
the hill overlooks the city and offer a great view of the archaeological
site Monte
Albán.
BEFRIENDING THE HILL
Local environmentalists have formed a group to
protect Fortin Hill in Oaxaca
City. Environmentalists have formed the Amigos del Cerro
Fortin (Friends of Cerro Fortin).
This group sponsors events throughout the year,
including marathons. Notably, members plant trees just before
the rainy months in the summer and take care of the seedlings
(an adopt-a-tree programs) the rest of the year.
JUAREZ
Look for the monument to Benito
Juárez. Where is he pointing?
