Stier af Mezcal
Beskrivelse
Vi tilbyder et dybt indblik i Oaxacas arkæologi, natur og levende kultur. Gennem den vidunderlige forfædres arkitektur i Mitla, interaktionen med Zapotec-vævere i Teotitlán del Valle og producenter af ægte håndværksmæssig mezcal. Vores grupper er små for at garantere personlig opmærksomhed fra professionelle rejseledere med stor erfaring, viden og passion for Oaxaca.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Vi kender verdens tykeste træ!
Vi vil vide, hvordan denne store Zapotec-by har bevaret den gamle måde at farve tekstiler på, det vil overraske dig, hvordan den fra skræl af frugter, blomster, blade og insekter får lyse og varige farver, såsom den af den cochineale grana, der gav staten så meget rigdom .
Vi vil smage en god agave og mezcal destillat, men først vil vi vide, hvordan man laver det. Og vores smagning vil være uforglemmelig såvel som at gå gennem maguey-markerne.
Du vil lære den unikke attraktion ved Oaxaca at kende, de forstenede vandfald, der er blevet dannet af mængden af calciumcarbonat og andre mineraler, som vandet indeholder. Det siges, at der kun er to i verden, i Oaxaca og i Tyrkiet.

We had a great time with our driver, he gave us plenty of tips. The tour was long but filled with super cool stuff. Best of all was the textile experience, best art we have seen, these people were amazing! Highly recommended!
Antonio was a wonderful guide, patient, attentive and kind. He covered for Spanish and English speakers but was easy to follow. We thought the itinerary would be a grueling long day, but Antonio managed to keep a relaxed pace and it was all so enjoyable.
A great itinerary that allows you to learn first-hand about the culture and traditions of Oaxaca. In a small group the guides explained to us everything we needed to know.
This trip was great. There was enough time at each location to take pictures and enjoy the view and take in the information about each place. The driver was great and very friendly, he had a great Playlist too and I felt safe and enjoyed the drive. Just something small to note is that they went to a different Mezcal place (Rey de Matatlan) but the English guide at that place was great and took his time to answer all of our questions. Also, if you decide to go for a different pick up you might have to wait for a bit as they make their way to picking up everyone. For water boils (hierve el agua), just make sure to wear shoes with enough traction as it can be very slippery even in dry areas! If you are not in good physical condition, I'd suggest you do the smaller hike instead of going all the way down/ up, it's quite a challenging hike if you're not used to lots of stairs and uneven ground. Overall I'd recommend this tour!
The wild agave boutique distillery really Opened my eyes (and nose and taste) to the nuance of quality mezcal. We bought 2 limited wild bottles and have been enjoying them for tastings very slowly!
My friend and I just completed 6 consecutive days of tours with Mexplorer this past weekend. We were blessed to have Balam, Daniel, and Alfredo as our tour guides for this trip. Our guides made sure we understood and experienced the greatness that Oaxaca has to offer. I was able to eat amazing food, have spectacular views from the Sierras, and learn about the history of the Zapotec way of life. We visited museums, archeological sites, and learned the craft that many people still to this day practice from their ancestors. I am glad we get the opportunity to experience these traditional methods still being used.
A varied, informative and full day culminating at the amazing unique Hierve el Aqua waterfalls complex. Take your swimsuits.
The tour was well organized. The time is hierve del agua was maybe too short (1.5 h), but enough to do the 'long' path and see both the waterfalls. Mitla was a bit rushed, and our guide didn't do a great job of explaining well its history (it was a bit rushed). Mezcal and textile factories were interesting, but of course it's an excuse to sell you expensive products. We enjoyed those visits anyways. Tula was a bit rushed (15 minutes only). Overall it was a good day where we could see most of the valley around Oaxaca. The reason for the 3 stars is that I found the tour overpriced, compared to what was offered in the streets of Oaxaca. We paid 67 euros (buffet lunch included, entrances of things included), in the main touristic areas this same tour is offered for 300 pesos (around 15 euros), lunch and entrances excluded. Even adding the price of lunch (150 pesos) and entrances to attractions (in total less than 200 pesos probably), we still paid double than the price other people in the same tour paid. Advice: book directly in Oaxaca center, in the main pedestrian street.
Buen día Julia, tours en la calle hay hasta de 150 pesos, pero si es diferente, te platico: los guías nos son certificados, Mexico nos pide estar actualizados, cada dos años con 140 horas de capacitación, las cuales tienen un costo, el mantenimiento de las camionetas que están en excelente estado, pagamos tus alimentos, tus entradas, los conductores no van tomando ni le exigen a los artesanos mezcal como muchos otros que terminan borrachos. Te deseamos lo mejor y si tienes un negocio que te vaya increíble! Mira nuestras demás calificaciones, estamos seguros que hacemos un muy buen trabajo!
What a great way to spend a day in Oaxaca. I learned so much about this unique area of Mexico and the many native peoples here. We visited Hierve El Aqua, a traditional weaving business, a mezcaleria, El Tule, a traditional Oaxacan buffet for lunch, and the the Mitla ruins. Great way to add some history and culture to a trip and support local communities.
We thought this would be an in-depth mezcal experience and were surprised when the mezcaleria portion was only a small part. Still, it was an enriching and education experience. We visited many places (Hierve del agua, zapotec ruins, El Tule tree, etc). The tour guides were fantastic.
