What To Expect
At the Tule Tree, travelers will discover one of the most impressive natural symbols of Oaxaca. It is a majestic egg cellar more than 1,200 years old, recognized worldwide for having the widest trunk on the planet. During the visit, you can walk around the perimeter of the tree, take a close look at the natural figures that form on its trunk — animals and faces identified by local tradition — and listen to the guide’s explanation of its history, origin and cultural significance for the community. There will also be time to take pictures, enjoy the surroundings and get to know the atmosphere of the village that has grown up around this millennial giant. This stop offers a brief but memorable experience, ideal for connecting with the nature, history and identity of Oaxaca.
In Teotitlán del Valle, travelers will discover one of the most emblematic craft traditions of Oaxaca: the manufacture of handwoven wool mats. During the visit, you will know the complete creation process, from the natural spinning and dyeing of wool with cochineal grain, plants and minerals, to the weaving in pedal loom. Craftsmen will explain the meaning of Zapotec designs, inspired by pre-Hispanic symbols, nature and the ancestral worldview. Travellers will be able to watch live demonstrations, learn how the different natural colours are obtained and have time to admire and purchase authentic mats directly from family workshops, supporting the local economy. This experience offers a genuine approach to Zapotec culture and a tradition that has been passed down through generations.

5.00I liked Mitla, but it is certainly better Monte Albán, although Hierve el Agua is a surprising natural attraction and there is also the opportunity to swim in a natural pool. I liked the variety of this tour.
