Monte Alban
I first visited Monte Alban in 1990. I was fortunate to then visit Mitla, Tonina, & Palenque. There is so much wonderful information out there and easily found on the web, so try to research it first.
We had a great day at Monte Alban, it's very easy to arrange transporation, just be sure to bring water, it's very hot and humid. The museum has lots of interesting artifacts.
What really made it special is that the day we visited, a local family was visiting with all their children and Angel had the best time playing with them.
She sat with the littlest one on the bus, and when we arrived, we discovered baby birds and butterflies...things that if I hadn't been with my daughter and seeing it thru her eyes, I believe my experience would have been much more different.
I highly recommend visiting as many ruins as possible and trying to explain what they looked like before and how life was back then.
Understanding this rich cultural heritage with your child will open his/her mind to the vastness of the world and it's history and give them a much wider perspective than they would have just growing up in their home town/country and just learning about the world thru a classroom or from the tv or internet.
Your child may not remember all these experiences, but these experiences will impact them for the rest of their lives. I believe cultural experiences such as these are invaluable in teaching children and families to be open and accepting of differences.
Learning to be open and accepting can only help our children and future generations to accept people for who they are and not be judgemental and righteous thru ignorance.
This is the journey of a mother and her child who go on Adventurez In Mexico. They explore, learn and discover all they can about Mexican culture. #AdventurezInMexico @AdventurezinMexicoFB · Education website
