The tour is really worth going, only one destination so we don’t have to rush. Our tour guide Paul is amazing, I recommend everyone to join this tour.

Paul was a great guide, extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and speaks excellent English. This trip is also great because it’s Hierve el Agua only — a much shorter and more flexible trip than most of the other Hierve el Agua tours.
Definitely book this one...

Definitely book this one ☺️ Paul was a really wonderful guide, he told us lots of interesting information about the formation and the plants whilst we hiked around. We had an hour to swim in the pools which was the perfect amount of time and after we had a really great lunch. Couldn’t be happier with the experience. Also glad I did just the half day because I was knackered afterwards!
Must do!

Wonderful way to see Hierve el Agua! The guide (and driver) was so professional and nice (and his English was perfect). Excellent pickup location in Centro de Oaxaca and 1.5ish hour drive each way. We enjoyed the small (45 minute hike) to see different views of the water/cliffs and then we had an hour on our own to swim! The trip was particularly well planned as we left earlier than most other tour groups, so we had the place to ourselves for the first bit. Bring cash for the lunch vendors, water, sunscreen and sneakers or hiking shoes! Not that strenuous, however.
A Fun and Informative Tour!

Hierve de Agua is a beautiful place. Our tour guide, Paul, was so knowledgeable about everything. We learned about local communities, culture, plants, mezcal and more! There was something for everyone on this tour. The hike was done in an enjoyable pace which gave ample opportunities for questions, scenic views and photos. Overall, I highly recommend this tour with Paul.
