- Hierve el Agua - Hierve el Agua is a breathtaking natural wonder situated in the mountains beyond Oaxaca’s Central Valleys. This petrified waterfall offers spectacular views of the Sierra, and its uniqueness is truly awe-inspiring. Picture pools of water created by natural springs within the mountain, perched on a natural ledge overlooking the valley below… Hierve el Agua resembles a landscape from another world.
- Yagul - After descending the mountain, the journey continues to the Yagul archaeological site. A hidden gem with few visitors, Yagul is adorned with wild cacti and agave plants growing among the Zapotec ruins. The site boasts a captivating history and an incredible atmosphere, having been featured in numerous books and films throughout Mexican history.
- Teotitlan del Valle - Nearby lies Teotitlan del Valle, a town renowned for its tradition of Zapotec weavers, whose designs and styles have gained worldwide fame. Visitors will tour a household that sources wool exclusively from their own livestock, providing a comprehensive tour of their production methods from start to finish. This is a wonderfully engaging and interactive experience, offering insight into the craftsmanship and symbolism behind these textiles, with a family that has been weaving for generations.
Lunch is also prepared by the family, offering a delightful taste of traditional Oaxacan cuisine enjoyed within their home.
- Tule Tree - On the return journey to Oaxaca, a stop is made at Santa Maria del Tule, home to one of the largest and oldest trees in the world. This Moctezuma Cypress, known for having the widest trunk globally, is an entire ecosystem in itself, its size so impressive it dwarfs the neighboring church. At approximately 1500 years old, it is a natural marvel, and being in its presence is an incredible experience.

Best Tour! - This was the absolute best thing we did in all of Mexico. We had the best day. Mizael was the best guide and Jorge was so helpful setting up the tour. We found the price perfect for the full day of activities and tours. We would do a tour with Mexico Kan tours again!

Awesome tour - Misael was a fantastic guide, full of info and interested in chatting and answering our questions.
The tour was a great way to see the sites and I would recommend it to anyone interested in an easy and enjoyable way to experience some highlights of Oaxaca. If you love nature you must visit the tule tree, it is incredible!

Recommended Tour to Hierve el Agua with Local Insights - Nice tour to Hierve el Agua with Miguel as our guide. The ride in the comfortable van was smooth all day, and the pickup was right on time. We enjoyed a breakfast stop at a local spot, which felt authentic and not touristy. The hike to Hierve el Agua with a local guide was a highlight—stunning views! We also loved the stop at the Yagul archaeological site—after visiting more popular spots like Monte Alban, it was amazing to have the place all to ourselves. Learning about the traditions of Zapotec weavers and having lunch prepared by their family in their home was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Miguel offered us mezcal throughout the day and even gifted us some complimentary pastries. What we really appreciated about the company is how it cooperates with the locals and supports the region, respecting its history, culture, and nature. Highly recommend!

Surpassed Expectations - Each stop on the tour was unique and memorable. Our guide, Micael, provided cultural insights during the ride, enhancing our understanding of the Zapotec people. This tour surpassed a mere transportation service, offering a seamless and enriching experience. Highly recommended and worth every penny.

Best Tour in Oaxaca - This was the best tour I did over the course of two weeks and 10 Viator tours in Mexico. Mizael, our tour guide, was amazing. We had the best day and saw SO MUCH and also got to eat the most delicious meal. Book this tour!

Disappointing experience - I booked this tour because we have a fantastic experience with this company during two trips to Tulum, but this time I was quite disappointed, especially considering the price we paid 330. The tour guide Michael was inattentive, spending most of the car ride playing on his phone, and he only answered our questions when we asked. I expected a brief intro at each stop, but did not happen. Also, when we reached the Hierve el Agua, he did not come in with us due to the legal restrictions, but he only mentioned like one sentence without further explanations when we about to get off the car, which should have been tell us earlier. On the positive side, the driver Isaac was wonderful! He was friendly, always smiling, and made sure the ac is on every time we got into the car. one tip for future travelers, if you’re thinking to buy the weaving products during the lunch stop ( which is held at a family owned weaving house), be cautious. The items are very expensive unless you’re good at bargaining. Overall, I don’t recommend this trip, especially given the price we paid compared with the service they offered.
