    AMAZING Mini Adventure!

    Me and my husband had a phenomenal experience! The drive from our resort was relaxing, the short walk to the falls was absolutely beautiful, and lunch was so delicious my husband ate more food than he probably should have and we were both ready for a siesta when we got back to our hotel. Our tour guide, Saul, was very knowledgeable and easygoing, and facilitated a wonderful day for us that we won’t soon forget : ) If you are so inclined, you can complete this tour in sandals, but wearing water shoes - especially in the pools as they are slick with algae, is probably to your advantage. Make sure you bring some water with you to drink, and definitely check out the pool behind the waterfall!

    Response from the operator: Hola Andrea ! We really appreciate your feedback about the tour to the waterfalls and we are happy to know that you enjoyed this wonderful experience. Thank you for choosing our services. Hope to see you soon again.

    Unforgettable day trip. Highlight of our vacation

    Our travel guide was Eduardo Bolaños and he was a perfect host. He showed up at our hotel about 5 minutes prior to our pickup time. A large air conditioned van, clean inside and out, with cold drinks available. We received a narrative along the way about the local area and its history. Just as promised, we stopped for a bathroom break, coffee, hot chocolate, and an education on medicines using local plants. Onward to the waterfalls, and WOW, we were not disappointed. Eduardo lead us along the path to an extraordinary site. The pictures on the Viator website do not do it justice. He gave us a quick safety briefing, and then lead a few of us under and behind the falls into a cave/grotto where we experienced the thundering water within a few feet of us. AMAZING! This was followed by a swim in the crystal clear waters, before enjoying a genuine, traditional Mexican meal at a restaurant within a few metres of the river. On top of all this, we were surrounded by the lush tropical beauty of Oaxaca. The only regret was not bringing more cash with us to buy coffee and other treats to take home. BTW, they do accept credit cards. Don’t miss out on this opportunity.

    Response from the operator: Hola amigos ! Thank you so much for choosing our services and your feedback ! It was a pleasure for us to show you the beauty nature of the Sierra Madre Mountains of the state of Oaxaca ! We hope to see you again . Muchas gracias

    Amazing Waterfall Adventure in the Sierra Madre Mountains: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oaxaca City.

    How much does Amazing Waterfall Adventure in the Sierra Madre Mountains cost?

    +

    Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oaxaca City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Amazing Waterfall Adventure in the Sierra Madre Mountains take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Oaxaca City is not rushed.

    Is Amazing Waterfall Adventure in the Sierra Madre Mountains worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Oaxaca City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Amazing Waterfall Adventure in the Sierra Madre Mountains?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Amazing Waterfall Adventure in the Sierra Madre Mountains suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Amazing Waterfall Adventure in the Sierra Madre Mountains?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Oaxaca City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Oaxaca City and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Amazing Waterfall Adventure in the Sierra Madre Mountains start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Oaxaca City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Oaxaca City?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Oaxaca City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include AUTHENTIC OAXACA CULTURAL FOOD TOUR, eat like a local., Hierve el Agua 2.5 hours, Mitla, Tule, Rugs and Mezcal for a Day, Traditional Oaxaqueña Cooking with Grandma's Recipes. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Oaxaca City?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Oaxaca City?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
