What To Expect
Hierve el Agua is a hidden oasis 40 miles into the foothills outside Oaxaca City. Only found by following a dirt road that winds through some of the most remote villages in Oaxaca, you’ll be rewarded with a glimpse of Hierve el Agua’s glimmering “waterfalls.” But what looks like flowing water is actually calcium deposits formed over thousands of years, now rising strikingly above the valley below. we will arrive at one of the most important natural wonders of Oaxaca; the petrified waterfalls of Hierve el Agua. We will do a hike around the place to admire the splendor of this magnificent place. After that, we will enjoy a dip in the natural pools, a unique experience! We will be having lunch at Citlali’s in Roaguia and will cook homemade traditional food: memelitas, tlayudas, and quesadillas, etc.

5.00We did 3 full day private tours with my extended family and 2 small grandkids. The itinerary was perfect, integrating archeological sites, artisan workshops, wonderful lunch spots and nature. Everything was top notch. The little ones got a chance to get involved and they loved it. Omar was wonderful and or driver Santiago was accommodating, flexible and patient. Omar was extremely knowledgeable and a very good communicator. He made the experience come to life. He also made some wonderful restaurant recommendations for the evening . I recommend them for any and all travel in this area.
Wonderful day with Omar!

5.00We had a wonderful tour with Omar! He took us to the mineral waters ,Hierve el Agua, where we had a short hike to the pools and dipped our feet in the water. The highlight was going to visit his friends home, Ray and Julissa, where they make beautiful tapestries and yummy chocolate. omar was very flexible and did not rush us at all. Highly recommend Omar as a guide and a visit to Huella Carmen, the artisans home.
Loved Our Tour with Omar Rito - 5 stars+

5.00Our group of five senior citizens spent an amazing week traveling around Oaxaca and our favorite day, hands down, was spent with Omar Rito. From the minute he picked us up in the morning until he dropped us off twelve hours later, we enjoyed every aspect of our private tour. Omar has a great personality, warm and calm with a wonderful smile, and we all felt very comfortable with him. He is organized, professional, attentive and flexible. His van is new, comfortable, and he drives very well (which I appreciated). His spoken English is fantastic and he was able to converse on any topic we chose - personal, politics, arts, science, environment, economy, you name it. He drove us first to Hierve el Agua, stopping for an authentic (and tasty) breakfast at a small family-owned roadside restaurant (Comedor Citlali). The hike and mineral pools at Hierve el Agua are beautiful - Omar kept a good pace for us and allowed us time to rest when we needed it. From there we visited the archeological site of Mitla where Omar shared his extensive knowledge about the history and construction of this national treasure. After a delicious lunch at Rancho Zapata, we visited the lovely family of artisans at Huella Carmin (shout out to Ray David and Julisa) where we had fantastic workshops in natural wool spinning and dying, rug and textile weaving, and Oaxacan chocolate making. We spent many pesos buying their high quality goods, all at great prices. As I said to Omar at the end of the day, he really hit it out of the ballpark with our tour. The husbands, the wives, the friends, we all loved it. Thank you, Omar!
Great Oaxaca Trip! Thanks Omar!

5.00We had an excellent experience with our tour guide, Omar. He drove us safely and comfortably on several long trips over the course of four to five days. Throughout the journey, we felt completely relaxed and confident in his driving. Omar was also extremely knowledgeable and provided valuable insights and information about the places we visited. We truly appreciated his professionalism, friendliness, and dedication. I would highly recommend Omar to anyone seeking a safe, informative, and enjoyable travel experience.

5.00Oaxaca Experience Tours came recommended by a friend who lives in Oaxaca. Omar was an incredible tour guide. He was happy to speak English or Spanish, and from the moment we met him he felt like an old friend. His history of Oaxaca and the surrounding areas is immense, and his food recommendations were wonderful. We packed a lot into two days, but never felt rushed. The vehicles we traveled in were clean and comfortable, and Omar always had water and even snacks to share with our entire group. I couldn’t recommend his company enough, and if I ever go back to Oaxaca I hope to see them again!
Beyond My Expectations
