What you can expect

Embark on an unforgettable journey through the wonders of Oaxaca, beginning with a visit to Monte Albán, one of the most significant archaeological sites in the region. A knowledgeable local guide will walk you through its ancient history, showcasing the grandeur of this former Zapotec capital, offering insight into its temples, plazas, and monumental tombs.

Next, venture into the mountains to experience Hierve el Agua, a breathtaking natural attraction that draws thousands of visitors each year. Here, you can swim in natural mineral pools or take a walk to the base of the awe-inspiring petrified waterfalls, standing over 35 metres tall, offering a unique and serene landscape.

Your journey continues with a taste of mezcal, Oaxaca's renowned traditional spirit. Considered one of the purest alcoholic drinks in the world due to its artisanal distillation process, you’ll learn first-hand how mezcal is made. With more than 15 different types of agaves native to Oaxaca, you'll have the chance to sample and savour the distinct flavours of this iconic drink.

Finally, visit Teotitlán del Valle, a town steeped in Zapotec culture, known as the “Place of the Gods.” Famous for its wool rugs and traditional textiles made using natural dyes, you'll witness the intricate process of creating these beautiful works of art. Learn from skilled artisans how this craft has been preserved for generations, making it an enduring symbol of Oaxaca’s rich cultural heritage.

This tour offers a perfect blend of history, nature, culture, and taste, providing a comprehensive exploration of the best Oaxaca has to offer.
