A busy day exploring the region’s unique and most treasured assets, beginning with a short stop at the magnificent Tule Tree.
Next up is a guided tour of ancient Mitla, and enjoying the busy market at the gates of the archeological site, good for food and crafts.
Additional hiking, swimming and food are afternoon options at iconic “petrified waterfall” Hierve El Agua, where we’ve planned plenty of time to soak it all in.
Learn about Oaxaca’s renowned local mescal tradition on our way back to the city and, if you wish, a tasting.

Oaxaca
Tomas is a wonderful guide. He took us to Tlacolula, which has an enormous market, Teotitlan de Valle for a weaving demonstration, meal and to meet his family, and for a Mezcal tasting which was phenomenal. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Mexico and his Zapotec culture. This is my second trip to Oaxaca and my second year of using Tomas as our guide. He also was our porter back and forth to the airport. He is prompt, helpful, and just a fun person to travel the area with.
