Took a collectivo there on a Sunday, and would recommend going after 1 if you go then and want to visit the workshops where the gaily painted carvings are produced. People are welcoming and the small town looks up to Monte Alban in the distance.

But don't expect half price. Even if you are at the heart of the production, prices are still stiff and go down only for some quantities.

The town of San Antonio Arrazola is located just on the other side of Monte Alban and only 10-15 minutes...
