Diaz Ordaz & Yagul

If you are looking for a splendid, long ride through the countryside on a beautiful day, this adventure just might tickle your imagination. Basically an outing on unpaved backcountry roads, this route will take you from Oaxaca to Diaz Ordaz, with a little lollipop loop at the end that puts you within striking distance of the scenic ruins of the Zapotec palace complex at Yagul, should you care to visit there. Coming in at 49 miles (79 km), this is a long ride, and one with enough rolling terrain to keep things interesting.
