Mitla is an archaeological site in the state of Oaxaca, a Zapotec foundation area where there is evidence of human occupation since the beginning of our era. Perhaps neglected by the most renowned archaeological Mexico , the ruins of Mitla spent unjustly undervalued in the eyes of mass tourism.
Something similar happened with the ruins of Yagul , in the same state. Caves Yagul and Mitla , in the Central Valley of Oaxaca , were recently recognized as World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. Thus, Oaxaca equates to the area of Yucatan , as the area most distinguished sites.
Caves Yagul and Mitla in your area containing the earliest farming areas across the continent. The novelty of recognition, is included within the category of cultural landscape: it is nothing less than the area where originated the domestication of plants to grow, giving rise to the earliest sedentary civilizations of the continent. In the caves in particular, the paintings are a record of life in the region for thousands of years.
In Yagul , there are vestiges of pictorial art in the tombs discovered not so long ago. In Mitla there is also a monumental architectural complex, the remains of a population that reached its peak between the tenth and sixteenth. There are remains of plazas, palaces, administrative , monoliths, and fortresses in ruins.
The declaration of Mitla and Yagul as a world heritage site, increases the number of sites recognized by Mexico at 31, making it the sixth worldwide. In Oaxaca , add three sites recognized by the area Montealbán and Historical Center. No doubt good news for the country, which leaves no doubt that is much more than sun and sand destination.
