Itinerary

  • Hierve el Agua

    Take this amazing tour and explore the petrified waterfall of Hierve el Agua and the majestic nature surrounding it (closed in rainy season). Also, see a gigantic 2,000 year-old tree in Tule and then gaze at the beautiful stone carvings at the Zapotec ruins of Mitla. Visit a local village to learn the process of making woolen rugs from hand. Round off the tour visiting a Mezcal factory and learn how this popular Mexican drink is made. Hierve el Agua. Due to the variety and high concentrations of mineral salts, a prehispanic irrigation system and various waterfalls are now petrified. A series of small natural pools have been excavated to form an esplanade called "the amphitheater", from which you can admire the amazing scenery. There are two distinct levels: in the lower level there are springs and the irrigation system, and in the upper level there are facilities for visitors.

  • Monte Alban Zapotec Ruins Tour

    Mitla. Its name in Nahuatl means "Place of the Dead", while the Zapotecs called it lyobaa, meaning "Place of burials" Mitla was a place of residence for the Zapotec priestly class. It was inhabited from the classic period of Monte Albán (100 to 650 AD), and reached its peak in the post-classical period (750 to 1521 AD). The layout of the city was probably planned with structures grouped in five sets, currently called the Columns, the Church, the Stream, the Adobes and the South. Santa María El Tule. Among the natural beauties of this town is the huge, ahuehuete cypress called "El Árbol del Tule". The tree is a wonderful example of Oaxacan flora, 40 meters high with a diameter of 52.58 meters, it weighs around 509 tons and is approximately 2000 years old. We suggest you visit the handcraft market of the community and to sample the wide variety of local foods.

  • Teotitlán del Valle

    Teotitlán del Valle. This town is where woolen rugs are made on domestic looms. The artisans here use natural dyes such as indigo, moss and grana cochinilla. We will take you to an artisan´s house to see the process of making a rug. Mezcal Factory. Perhaps the most famous drink to come out of Mexico is one made from the agave plant: tequila. But there’s another drink derived from the agave, one less known but just as potent: Mezcal. And lately, it is moving on up among the hip and the chic, not only in Mexico but also abroad. The New York Times recently published an article about this spirit beverage newfound fame in New York and beyond. We will take you down to a mezcal distillery where you will be able to discover all about Mezcal. You've gotta try it, Mezcal is the new tequila! As the old saying goes: "Para todo mal, mezcal, y para todo bien, también" (for any harm, mezcal, for every charm, as well).

Fun full day of touring locations near Oaxaca

Published on Feb, 2020

Hierve el Agua is the main attraction, but it was nice to see some other things in the area as well. The Tule tree is huge, not something that I would go take a trip to see on its own, but good to include with the tour. Mitla is interesting, I didn't even know about this before taking the tour. I don't drink but the mezcal factory was interesting to see how it's made, my friends enjoyed the tastings, there was plenty to taste too. Our last stop was the Teotitlán del Valle wool factory. If you're into fabric it could be interesting seeing the processes. Overall a nice tour, thanks Bamba!

You get a lot done for the price

Published on Nov, 2019

Really nice Mercedes Sprinter van with comfortable seats, great A/C, each seat had a usb charging outlet for you phone, and movies shown while driving. The guide spoke great English and was very knowledgeable and funny. We got to spend a very small amount of time at each place, approximately 30 minutes or so, but an hour and 20 at Hierve de Agua.

Long but worth it!

Published on Aug, 2019

This trip was so cheap, the price range is about 20 dlls per person but it is a full day tour to go see the necrópolis at Mitla, taste about 9 types of Mezcal. We hired a company called El Andador tours and the tourguide had lots of helpful suggestions on where to get the best mole, chocolate, and the famous Oaxacan string cheese.

Good variety and well organized

Published on Feb, 2019

Great tour and well-led. There are two opportunities to buy items (mezcal and woven goods) but not high pressure.
