In Teotitlán del Valle, you will live an authentic cultural immersion by knowing the art of wool mats with natural dyes and the exclusive tradition of beeswax shell candles.

Activity itinerary

Tule Tree
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
The Tule Tree is a natural monument located in Santa Maria del Tule, Oaxaca, famous for having the widest trunk in the world, with a diameter of more than 14 metres and a circumference exceeding 58 metres. This majestic ahuehuete (Mexican cypress) is approximately 2,000 years old and capable of shading about 500 people at a time. Part of its appeal lies in the natural figures that guides help identify in their bark (such as elephants or crocodiles) and in the Zapotec legend that attributes its plantation to a priest of the god of the wind, Ehécatl.
Teotitlan del Valle
  • 2h
Discover Zapotec art in a family workshop where wool mats are made with natural dyes such as grana cochineal. In addition, you will know the delicate tradition of shell candles, hand-decorated beeswax masterpieces that are symbolic of identity at local festivities.
Hierve el Agua
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Admire one of the most impressive landscapes in Mexico: petrified waterfalls formed by calcium carbonate for millennia. You can walk along the trails overlooking the Sierra Madre and soak in the natural pools of warm water located on the edge of the precipice. Access per person: $100.00
San Pablo Villa de Mitla (Pass by)
Enjoy an authentic Oaxacan banquet designed to delight all the senses. The buffet includes an exquisite selection of roast meats, the emblematic moles of the region, a variety of typical stews with local seasoning and, to close with a golden snap, a traditional dessert bar that captures the sweet essence of Oaxaca. Optional Buffet Access
El Rey de Matatlan
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Learn about the process of "the drinking of the gods" in a traditional pallet. You’ll see everything from cooking agave pineapples in earthen ovens to distilling in copper pots, culminating in a guided tasting of young mezcals, oldies and flavour creams.
Zona Arqueologica de Mitla
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Explore the “City of the Dead”, a unique site for its buildings decorated with stone greque mosaics. Unlike other sites, these pieces are assembled with such precision that they did not require mortar, forming geometric patterns representing the Zapotec cosmogony.
