Overview

Oaxaca is best lived without haste. Respect for your time differs: enjoy a quiet morning swimming in the pools of Hierve el Agua, 2,000 meters high, before the crowds arrive.
Our passion is authenticity. In Mitla, an expert guide will reveal the sacred code of their original Greeks. In Teotitlán, we enter the home of master craftsmen to listen to their language, Zapotec, as they transform wool with millennial techniques.
The logistics are impeccable: premium transport, punctuality and a flexible itinerary. We crown the day with a traditional cuisine banquet and a tasting of artisanal mezcal to know the soul of the agave sprat. Don’t reserve a seat on a bus, live a real connection to Oaxaca designed just for you.

What to expect

  1. Hierve el Agua
    2h 30m · Admission ticket included
    Enjoy maximum exclusivity at Hierve el Agua, a unique destination in the world for its impressive system of petrified waterfalls. Located more than 2,000 meters above sea level, this mineral oasis offers you the most spectacular panoramic views of the Sierra Madre de Oaxaca.
    Being a private experience, you will have the privilege of exploring its trails and swimming in its famous temperate pools at your own pace, without the rush of large groups. Marvel at the calcium carbonate formations that have sculpted the mountain over millennia, creating a natural fantasy setting. It’s the perfect place to connect with nature, relax at its springs and capture unrivalled photographs from the edge of the abyss.
  2. Zona Arqueologica de Mitla
    2h · Admission ticket included
    Mitla: The Mystery of the Grecas
    Explore the archaeological area of Mitla, the second most important ceremonial center of Oaxaca. Together with our expert guide, you will decipher the meaning of its original buildings and the stone mosaics representing Zapotec deities. Being a private tour, you will enjoy a personalized and in-depth explanation of this unique legacy.
    Traditional Banquet
    Enjoy an authentic Oaxacan buffet: moles, regional stews, roast meats and delicious "fritanga" like potato molotes with chorizo. It includes fresh salads and typical desserts that capture the essence of the villages. An obligatory stop to live Oaxaca through its most honest flavors. (Drinks not included).
  3. Teotitlan del Valle
    1h
    In Teotitlán del Valle, we will live an intimate experience in the workshop of one of the most representative families of the village, guardians of the textile tradition. You will discover the fascinating process of 100% wool textiles, created with ancient techniques that have been passed from generation to generation.
    You will witness the use of malacate to spin wool and learn how the natural environment provides the organic dyes to give color to each piece. The most special thing about this visit is the human connection: the family will welcome you by sharing their mother tongue, the Zapotec of the valley, allowing you to hear the sounds of a living culture that resists disappearing. A deep dive into the soul of Oaxaca.
  4. El Rey de Matatlan
    1h · Admission ticket included
    We will finish with an immersion in the world of artisanal mezcal, where you will discover the life cycle of the agave sprat and its transformation into the "drink of the gods". You will know step by step the traditional method: from cooking in earth ovens and crushing, to natural fermentation and distillation in copper stills. The experience culminates with a guided tasting, where you will learn to appreciate the notes and body of an authentic mezcal. The perfect closure for your Oaxacan adventure!
