Get ready to discover some of the best places of Oaxaca State. Start with a visit to Santa Maria el Tule, home of one of the most extraordinary natural beauties including the giant tree (The Tule Tree), with a height of 40 meters and a diameter of more than 50 meters. It is said its more than 2000 years old, which makes it perhaps one of the biggest and oldest living things in the world. You’ll then make a little stop in the small town of Teotitlan del Valle, famous for its home-made textiles.
One of the day’s highlights will be a visit to Mitla, which in Nahuatl means Place of the Dead. Mitla used to be a ceremonial center of the Zapotecs and its now famed for its outstanding mozaics on its walls, a unique style of decorating in Mesoamerica. You’ll continue the excursion with an adventurous ride to Hierve el Agua, where you’ll have the chance to see the petrified waterfalls and take a refreshing dip into the mineral baths while enjoying the breathtaking landscape. Conclude the day in the most typical way; at a mezcal distillery. Learn about the traditional production process and you won’t leave before you have tasted Oaxaca’s sacred liquor.
