A full day beyond Oaxaca City: Hierve el Agua, Mitla, Teotitlán textiles, mezcal tasting, and the Tule Tree, with time to swim.

“Wow, what an amazing full day of so many unique Oaxcan experiences. Beautiful nature, archeological site, cultural indigenous rugs (you can negotiate just a little bit - but not much as they take so much time), the Tule Tree was incredible and the town so nice, and even the restaurant was pretty good with many locals. Our group was tons of fun and our guide Luis spoke great English and our driver Dani was extra safe. Exceptional tour in all ways and really great price for all you get. I had a blast as a solo 52 year old female traveler.”

“We had a wonderful day with a good amount of time to spend at Hierve de Agua which was stunning, not to be missed. We did the hike and got very hot and sweaty which made the pools blissful to plunge into when we got back to the top. Could have spent another hour there at least. The lunch was lovely and we really enjoyed the textiles visit, both family run places with very friendly people. Our driver was friendly and patient and seemed to get us to each place before the crowds arrived. Thanks for everything.”

6 am start to hike Hierve el Agua, swim in thermal pools, and sip mezcal at a family distillery, with breakfast included.

“All information provided for the trip by Viator (pickup location, contact info, ect.) was incorrect. The WhatsApp number I texted asking for the departure location was to a different tour company, who gave me their own pickup location. So when I showed up before 6 am, there was no one there. I attempted to email the operator through Viator but there was no response. I went over to the tour company office later to try to figure something out as a replacement. They offered to replace the trip with a much cheaper bike tour. They also refused to refund me, saying it was on Viator not them. Avoid this tour…”

I felt like I left with a better understanding of these sites and their cultural importance, I learned a great deal especially at Teotitlán. The guide’s explanation of the textiles was better than we had at even the Museo Textil de Oaxaca.”

You have to listen carefully because she has a subtle sense of humor that brings a smile to your face. She did not rush us and was extremely patient with all our questions. She gave clear instructions and communicated each step of the way. Edi is very thoughtful and made sure we did not hit our heads on low clearance and gave us a hand if we needed help on the steps. She is always ready to take your picture if…”
