Margarita was a super fun, very knowledgable guide! She explained both hierva de agua and the process of distilling mezcal in great detail, plus she could answer so many additional questions. The tour was a ton of fun!
Good way to see Hierve de Agua

A great way to see Hierve de Agua! We first stopped at a bakery to try local bread and then drove to the park. You get 3 hours to hike, swim, and eat, which is enough time if you time it right. We liked the free structure, rather than having guided time. However, you have to keep track of time to get back to the meeting point to leave. There are changing rooms and showers and a variety of food stands selling traditional dishes. Afterward we went and learned about mezcal and tasted some varieties. Our group was very lively and fun and the ride back was a mini party! Overall a very fun and solid experience, with fun guides and an easy itinerary.
This tour was the best...

This tour is great! You get about 3 hours at Hierve el Agua, which is just the right amount of time, and then you get to taste about 10 different Mezcals at the distillery. Our guide Margarita was knowledgeable, friendly, and funny! Highly recommend.
Solid tour experience. Would recommend
