Small-group guided hike and swim at Hierve el Agua from Oaxaca, with an early start, A/C transport, and all fees included.
“Really enjoyed the hike to hierve el agua. The steps are quite steep in there if you have knee problems or pain. But the guide can give you sticks so that helps a lot. The water was actually quite cold when I came in late Jan so I didn’t get in and some others did not as well. This was absolutely beautiful and would recommend!”
Half-day Oaxaca food walk with Carlos: market tastings, Tía Chave tacos, and a plaza stroll. Breakfast tastings and non-alcoholic drinks.
“Highly recommend this food tour of Oaxaca! Carlos has lived here most of his life and has terrific recommendations for food that is a bit off the beaten tourist path. Small, authentic mercados. Interesting and delicious food stands and restaurants. And Carlos is a wealth of information on Oaxaca itself. Plus, he's fun to walk around with in the city. Don't miss this tour - it was the perfect introduction to Oaxaca on our first day in town.”

“The early half day tour to Hierve el Agua was a great expierience and worth the early wake up. We were the first on site! Gilberto is an amazing guide and a very kind and nice person passionate about showing his part of Mexico to tourists. His English is brilliant as well. We enjoyed every moment of this trip 🙂”
