Arrive on Thursday to experience Zaachila’s sprawling weekly market.

Many vendors may not even speak Spanish, let alone English.

Carry small bills and loose coins for purchases at the market.

The Zaachila ruins are open daily and require a small fee to enter.

You can easily combine a visit to Zaachila with a stop at the nearby artisan towns of San Bartolo Coyotepec and Arrazola.

Zaachila may not be easily accessible for wheelchair users and those with mobility issues.
