Full description
The adventure begins at 8 am, when the sun is barely peeking over the horizon and the promise of a day full of wonder is about to begin. We'll pick you up from the comfort of your hotel or airbnb and drive you through the picturesque roads that wind through the beautiful Oaxacan landscape. Our first stop will be the majestic Tule Tree, an ancient giant that has seen centuries of history go by. Its branches rise towards the sky as guardians of secrets and legends, leaving you amazed by the magnitude of nature. Later, we will enter the Archaeological Zone of Mitla. The stones whisper tales of ancient civilizations that once roamed these lands. You can feel the energy of footsteps that echoed here centuries ago as you explore the courtyards and the intricate mosaic designs that adorn the walls. Our next stop will take you to the Petrified Waterfalls of Hierve el Agua. Water has carved the rock over centuries, creating formations that seem frozen in time. Here you can marvel at the unique beauty of nature while you immerse yourself in the natural pools that will give you panoramic views that will take your breath away. We'll take a break at a buffet restaurant serving authentic Oaxacan food. Traditional flavors merge in each bite, filling you with energy to continue the day full of exploration and discovery. In Teotitlán del Valle, you will witness the skill and passion of local artisans. Here, time seems to have stopped while the looms come to life and the colors dance in each thread, creating authentic works of art. To culminate this unforgettable trip, we will go to an authentic Palenque de Mezcal. Its aromas and unique flavors will transport you to the very essence of Oaxaca. Enjoy a tasting that will enliven your senses and will provide you with a true gift for the palate. Our tour will come to an end around 7 pm, when the sun goes down on the horizon. We will leave you in the lobby of your hotel or airbnb, with your hearts full of memories and shared experiences.

First class transport in a well-equipped vehicle with a safe driver, very pleasant arrival and departure to the destinations. Ede is a very humorous and energetic tour guide. You can feel their connection to this region. Sufficient cultural and culinary information spread throughout the day. She shows you all the details on the tule tree and adds information that cannot be found on the Internet. In Mitla it fully blossoms. My personal highlight was the visit to the El Envanto carpet factory in Teotitlan del Valle. The stop for lunch at Casa Rayo leaves nothing to be desired - best beetroot soup - ever! You have to know that five stations in one day is a lot and has to be carried out quickly - there isn't much time to linger. For people who would like to have a lot of impressions in one day - perfect! Rather unsuitable for people who like to take time for their impressions.

We really enjoyed the day, it was very interesting and enjoyable. Hierve el agua was definitely the highlight! The only thing was our guide tended to speak in Spanish then English and then back to Spanish which made it hard to follow. She was trying to speak to everyone at the same time but it didn’t really work. She spoke a lot on the bus about where we were going and what we were doing which was useful at times but my partner and I felt it was information overload. The transportation was comfortable and the sites were cool to see. The buffet lunch we had was real authentic Mexican food and was tasty.

We took the tours of Hierve El Agua and Monte Albán with Enjoy Oaxaca. At all times the treatment of our guide Edelmira (Ede) was very warm and informative about all the sites we visited, she cared about every detail and was fully available to take photos and give us recommendations, in addition to destinations, within the center of Oaxaca. In addition to this, the itinerary was perfectly fulfilled and we returned to our destination at an hour where we could still explore the center of Oaxaca.
