Overview

We will pick you up at the hotel where you are staying in Oaxaca, beginning our visit to the famous El Tule tree, the thousand-year-old ahuehuete, the widest tree in the world, weighing 509 tonnes. We will go to Teotitlán del Valle, a Zapotec town of weavers who use ancestral techniques to make and paint their rugs, shaping their own designs.
We will visit the archaeological zone of Mitla, a city that achieved the evolution of Zapotec architecture. Its name means “place of the dead”. The extraordinary decoration in fretwork on its walls stands out. Mitla is now one of the 6 magical towns of Oaxaca.
We will visit the spectacular petrified waterfalls of Hierve el Agua, one 30 m high and the other 12 m high, formed by carbonated water that falls from springs located in the upper part of the rocks.
Our last one will be a Mezcal factory where we will learn about the process of this drink, and we will enjoy a tasting of the different flavours.

Activity itinerary

Tule Tree
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
The Tule Tree is the tree with the largest trunk diameter in the world. With a crown circumference of approximately 58 metres and a height of 42 metres. With a trunk with a diameter of 14.5 metres, it is estimated that at least 30 people with intertwined hands would be necessary to be able to cover it and approximately 500 people can fit in its shadow.
Teotitlan del Valle
  • 1h
The town of Teotitlán del Valle (“place of the gods”, in Nahuatl), is famous thanks to the quality and beauty of its woollen textile products: rugs, jackets, bags, sarapes, tapestries, “corridors”, carpeting, curtains and dresses, made on large wooden looms and decorated with natural dyes, whose designs range from traditional Zapotec and Mixtec fretwork and taps to reproductions by contemporary painters.
Zona Arqueológica de Mitla
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Main ceremonial centre, the word Mitla or Mictlán is of Nahuatl origin and means "Place of the Dead" or "Underworld" in Zapotec it is called "Lyobaa" which means "Place of Burials", which in Mexica was already in Mitlan, " place of the dead" and already Spanishized only Mitla. The archaeological complex and the current town are Zapotec, Mitla was inhabited from the classical period (100 to 650 AD) reaching its maximum growth and apogee in the post-classical period (750 to 1521 AD).
Hierve el Agua
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Hierve el Agua has been recognised as a probable sacred place of the ancient Zapotecs, which was located here perhaps due to its great natural contrasts, since it is in the heart of a steep mountain range that during the dry season is characterised by its extreme aridity. Numerous archaeologists, biologists and geologists have gathered at Hierve el Agua, as it is a site where a complex irrigation system was built more than 2,500 years ago, of which important remains still exist. The temperature of the water is slightly higher than that of the environment, fluctuating between 22 and 25 degrees Celsius and therefore well below the boiling point.
