Los Arquitos: the Oaxaca Aqueduct



We walked to a neighborhood in Oaxaca that has what remains of an aqueduct built in the mid eighteenth century.  It brought water from the mountains north of the city until 1940.  It creates a really interesting neighborhood.  Some houses are built right into the aqueduct.  While we were there, we saw a taxi drive through an arch and continue on  a stone path we would have guessed could not be driven on.
