What To Expect
We start in Teotitlán del Valle, here you will discover the richness of Zapotec textile art, where artisans use sheep wool and natural dyes such as cochineal grain, indigo and other pigments extracted from plants and minerals. You will see how, in traditional pedal looms, they transform these materials into mats and textiles full of color, history and ancient symbolism. You can accompany each stage of the process, from washing and dyeing the wool to the final fabric. In addition, you will have the opportunity to take a unique handcrafted piece, a memory that captures the living essence of this Oaxacan culture.
Hierve el Agua
Explore Hierve el Agua, a spectacular natural site where mineral-rich waters have formed petrified waterfalls and natural pools. Surrounded by a stunning landscape of mountains, this place is ideal for connecting with nature, enjoying hikes and capturing unforgettable views. A must stop for those looking for natural beauty in Oaxaca.

5.00We took two days of tours with them, and they were super good, since before the attention came it is amazing by César and his team, the very nice places and recommend many places to eat and spend the night with some drinks of mezcal Rico, the costs are very good since everything is very private, it is worth it, Thank you very much guys, for teaching us a little bit of Oaxaca 🫶🏻💕
