Oaxaca Plateau, Mexico

Oaxaca Plateau,  Mexico
Most of the state of Oaxaca in southwestern Mexico lies within the Sierra Madre del Sur range. The range contains some of the highest mountains and volcanoes in the country. Below these great mountains lies the Oaxaca Plateau, a more level region, shown here, where the ancient Zapotecs built one of their great cities.
