Trip highlights

Start your day early with 7:00 am pick-up from Oaxaca City to experience Hierve el Agua before the crowds and heat. Arriving around 8:30 am, meet a local guide and begin a 50-minute hike with sweeping mountain views.

Afterward, return to the top and enjoy time in the natural pools before heading to a traditional breakfast spot featuring local favorites like memelas, tlayudas, and chocolate.

Continue to Teotitlán del Valle, where family-run workshops keep ancestral weaving traditions alive through floor looms, natural dyes, and generations of Zapotec knowledge.
