“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!”

“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.”
