★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,094 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $55Our pick

Travel with a small group of up to 16 from Oaxaca City to the Tule Tree, Teotitlán del Valle, Mitla, and Hierve el Agua. Guides such as Adriel, Miguel, Andrea, and Kevin lead bilingual visits, with rug-making, a buffet lunch, and mezcal tasting included along the way.

“It's a long day but very rewarding, the area around the tule tree is lovely, and I would definitely recommend doing at least the smaller hike in Hierve el agua to get the full scale of the 'falls'. The Mezcal tasting is great, and really fun. Our tour guide was excellent, always ready to answer questions without taking too much time.”

2.Explore Hierve el Agua, Mitla, Tule, Textile and Mezcal for a day

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,043 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $75Top rated

Spend about 11 hours outside Oaxaca City visiting Teotitlán textiles, Hierve el Agua, Mitla, the Tule Tree, and a mezcal palenque. English-speaking guides such as Luis and Pavel lead the day, while local specialists explain weaving and Zapotec history. Bring swimwear, a towel, sturdy shoes, and cash for lunch and small tips.

“Fantastic day exploring Oaxaca. Pavel is a fantastic host, very personable, knowledgeable and you can tell he cares both about Oaxacan culture and ensuring everyone on the trip has a great time. It is a long day (approx 12 hours) but if you’re not in Oaxaca for long and want to see as much as possible (as we did) this trip is perfect. Every activity brings value and even though you can buy items there’s no heavy pressure! Thanks again for a wonderful day Pavel and Hugo!”
