Randonnée ultime Hierve el Agua + Mezcal

My partner and I both agreed this was easily one of the best tours we’ve ever experienced. We started the day with Marlene and a local guide, exploring the petrified waterfalls up close — the views were absolutely breathtaking. Marlene then led us on a two-hour hike (thankfully downhill!), and throughout the journey she was incredibly attentive, professional, and deeply knowledgeable. She pointed out unique plants along the way and shared rich insights into Oaxacan culture, which made the experience feel so much more meaningful. I genuinely felt like I learned a lot. At the end of the hike, we were rewarded with a refreshing swim in a local cenote — it was truly magical. We finished the day with a beautiful home cooked lunch and mezcal tasting at a local farmer’s home, where we were welcomed so warmly it felt like spending time with family. I’m not usually someone who writes reviews, but this experience absolutely deserved it. I can’t thank Marlene enough for creating such a memorable and perfect day for us.

Five stars! Diego was a phenomenal host and the trip was a perfect blend of outdoor activity and exploring Oaxacan culture. We learned a lot and we had a blast. Can’t ask for more than that. Highly recommend.

Very cool trip... and excellent guides. Be sure to bring bathing suit and, ideally, beach shoes. The hike is great and the trip leader was vary knowledgable

Fantastic day out - the hike is challenging but worth the amazing scenery. The food and hospitality was great at both breakfast and lunch hosts. The mezcal tasting was generous and a lot of fun. Our guide was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this tour. It’s pricey but very worth it.

This was a 10/10 experience that I would highly recommend. Hierve el Agua is a beautiful place that you see with experienced and knowledgeable guides. The landscape and swimming in the pools were one of the best days of our 11 day visit to Mexico. The food for bf lunch and snacks were all delicious and welcome. The Mezcal tasting was also a great experience. Christian as guide and Jorge as driver were both excellent and made our day special. Don’t miss this exceptional tour!

Beautiful and interesting walk around the “petrified waterfalls” with local guide, refreshing swim in the infinity mineral pools, nice hike down into the valley and to a waterfalls, with swimming, then mezcal tasting at a small, independently owned mezcaleria (where we tasted at least 10 types of mezcal, learned and saw the process of making the mezcal had lunch with the master mezcalero, who taught us much about mezcal and life in the area). It was a beautiful day, Angel was a fabulous guide and the overall experience was worth the high price.

We had a wonderful trip to Hierve el Agua and to a mezcal farm and distillery. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and funny. She did a great job teaching us about plants, history and the surrounding community on our hike. There was a nice balance of free-time and structured programming. I would definitely recommend!

Excellent organization especially in terms of punctuality, from the start to compliance with the described itinerary. The hiking route was well balanced, with stretches that required a little physical effort but absolutely within everyone’s reach, rewarded by breathtaking views and total immersion in nature. Along the way, we had the opportunity to discover wonderful corners, away from the tourist chaos, and to appreciate the beauty of the place in all its authenticity. In summary, I highly recommend this tour to those who want a perfect balance between hiking, contact with nature and discovering enchanting places. It was really a pleasure to participate!

The hike to hierve el agua was amazing as were Paula and Ramsys. Please excuse me if I got the names wrong. They were so kind, caring and gave us such a fantastic insight into the area as a whole. The mezcal tasting was interesting. As we opted out of the second part of the hike due to the heat we went to el tule to see the 2000 year old tree. It was good to see another little town in Oaxaca. Would recommend this company any time. Would have loved to do another tour with them. Thank you Paula, Ramsys and Coyote

An absolutely incredible experience. The guide was personable, experienced and competent. They took us to spots that I would have never encountered independently and you felt how much the guide loves Oaxaca and being in the environment. I highly recommend booking a tour with this thoughtful company.
