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.”
