Highlights

A busy day exploring the region’s unique and most treasured assets, beginning with a short stop at the magnificent Tule Tree. Next up is a guided tour of ancient Mitla, and enjoying the busy market at the gates of the archeological site, good for food and crafts. Additional hiking, swimming and food are afternoon options at iconic “petrified waterfall” Hierve El Agua, where we’ve planned plenty of time to soak it all in. Learn about Oaxaca’s renowned local mescal tradition on our way back to the city and, if you wish, a tasting.

About Oaxaca City

Oaxaca City is the colonial capital of Oaxaca state, a stone-built highland city of markets, mole, mezcal and Zapotec ruins nearby.

Oaxaca de Juárez sits in a high valley at about 1,500 metres, its centre built of pale green stone around a shaded zócalo. The baroque church of Santo Domingo, with its gilded interior, and the attached former convent, now a cultural museum, are the grandest sights. Streets run with market stalls, painted walls and courtyard cafés, and the historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
