Hierpe el Agua com trilhas e tempo para nadar + árvore de tule

We did the full day hierve el agua tour with my family. The tour was great, we had an amazing time a great tour guide who was not only knowledgeable but kind and fun. We learned so much about hierve el agua and Oaxaca in general. Eric was a great driver, he got us everywhere we needed to be safe and on time. Thank you Christian for being such a wonderful tour guide and helping up the stairs and for taking pictures of our family. It was a pleasure meeting you and I would totally recommend this tour again.

Christian and Erick were amazing. Did a wonderful job. Felt comfortable and safe. Would highly recommend.

Christian was a great guide!!

Liz and Eric were the best! Liz was very attentive and knew a lot of information. I came alone and she was very kind in assisting me with my photos. Highly recommended service!

Zapoteco tours gran atención.

Lots of fun. Got to experience a range of things!

Great tour guide. I really learned a lot about the area. I will note that it took about an hour longer than expected. Not a big deal, because it was so fun, but if you have time restraints, just keep that in mind.

Pável our guide and Eric our driver From Zapoteca Tours were excellent. Pável especially gave our group (2 of us and 3 other fun travelling companions) a really great commentary on several stages of the journey. We learned about Mitla caves (although a separate tour) as Pável used iPad to show pictures and videos of things we wouldn’t see, but also in anticipation of the stops of our tour. Hierve el Agua is stunning. Make sure to take your ‘togs’ and a travel (or borrow hotel) towel. The local guide Helio had an infectious giggle but gave good detail on our walk down to the bottom of the ‘falls’. He and other locals manage visitor experience and lead sustainable approach to ensure the sacred site is respected by visitors. A gratuity (not included in tour cost) is well worth supporting the local guides and their community. After expending energy on the hike, relaxing in the pools we had an ‘eat as much as you like’ traditional buffet lunch. It was good honest selection and full of flavour (210MX per person plus drinks). Then we took in a Mezcal production tour and tasting at El Rey de Matatlan. Even though we had previously attended a lecture and tasting the way the tour is presented added great context. The tasting certainly brought our group together more with laughs and tasting note discussions. Final stop was Santa Maria del Tule. A stunning natural phenomenon of the world’s widest tree. Framed by the town’s church and immaculate gardens a peacefully majesty all of its own. Pável and Eric permeated the drive with additional information and musical matches to the New Zealand, Australian and Swiss passengers. A great day’s value and fantastic appreciation of natural wonders. 100% recommended Zapotec’s Tours.

We had a great time on this half day tour with Liz the guide and Miguel our driver. Everything was well paced, we had the perfect amount of time at each place and it was nice having the admission fees included. Liz kept the energy for up for us and was very bubbly and friendly. We learnt lots about Oaxaca, the traditions and culture and about the tree and petrified waterfalls. We appreciated her explaining the food at the buffet too and we enjoyed trying lots of different local specialities. We were a small group of four which was perfect for us, and we had lots of space on the van - we got back to the city about 4pm. Initially we were a little confused because we were expecting a snack and a little breakfast; but it was just an apple when we arrived. So just a heads up for others, there isn’t really any food included. We didn’t get to lunch until 2pm - so bring food with you or buy from street food vendors at the stops.

Had a great time! Liz and Miguel took great care of us and kept things interesting and timely. Would definitely recommend.
