Description
Experience the charm of Oaxaca's surroundings through this private tour designed for you. Your journey will include visits to remarkable sites such as Mitla, Hierve el Agua, Monte Albán, and Teotitlán del Valle.
Private Tour Details
If you plan to spend several days in Oaxaca and wish to discover the area with a dedicated English-speaking guide, consider reserving one of our exclusive private tours. Each tour encompasses hotel pickup and drop-off, transportation in a comfortable private vehicle, and lasts between 8 and 9 hours.
The following outlines the specifics of each tour:
Monte Albán, San Martín Tilcajete and San Bartolo Coyotepec (8 hours)
This tour will take you to the majestic archaeological site of Monte Albán, where you’ll traverse paths once walked by the Zapotec civilization while marveling at magnificent pyramids and gaining insight into this ancient culture.
Your next destination will be San Martín Tilcajete, home to skilled artisans crafting alebrijes—vibrant, handcrafted figures. Discover the unique stories behind each piece during your visit.
Midway through your day, enjoy a traditional Oaxacan meal at a local restaurant. Energized, you will proceed to San Bartolo Coyotepec to explore a workshop specializing in distinctive black clay pottery, which embodies the identity of its people.
For those interested, a similar path can be taken on the Monte Albán, Arrazola, and San Bartolo Coyotepec tour.
Hierve el Agua and Teotitlán del Valle (8 hours)
Your day begins at the spectacular petrified waterfalls of Hierve el Agua, located in San Isidro de Roaguía. Be prepared to be awed by the breathtaking views of these unique formations, towering at 30 and 12 meters (98 and 39 feet).
Next, we will visit a traditional smoking kitchen for a delightful Oaxacan lunch. Following this culinary experience, continue to Teotitlán del Valle, where you will observe local artisans practicing ancient techniques to create textiles.
This itinerary closely resembles that of the Hierve el Agua and Teotitlán del Valle tour.
Mitla, Teotitlán del Valle and Mezcal Factory (9 hours)
Your adventure begins at Santa María del Tule, where you'll encounter the largest tree trunk in the world, measuring 14 meters in diameter. Next, you'll visit the Mitla Archaeological Site, an important historic area in Oaxaca, to explore the remains of the Zapotec town and learn about its archaeological and engineering techniques.
Continue on to see the stunning petrified waterfalls of Hierve el Agua. After soaking in the views, you can enjoy a leisurely meal at a local restaurant. Once satisfied, head to Teotitlán del Valle.
The experience concludes with a chance to discover the mezcal production process and participate in a tasting session.
This route offers similarities to the Mitla, Teotitlán del Valle, and Mezcal Factory tour.
