Hierve el Agua is a natural site located in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. It is known for its picturesque landscapes featuring petrified waterfalls and mineral-rich springs.

Mezcal in Oaxaca
David our guide has many local stories and knowledge of the Oaxaca history and culture. We had a private tour for the day. The experience was as described. David was enjoyable, fun, and a good person. We enjoyed the two mezcal tours and a private lunch in the first agave field, very good food prepared by the local wife. Elmer our driver was a good guy too. We enjoyed our day with both of them.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with David and Elmer! It’s great to hear that David's local stories and knowledge of Oaxaca’s rich history and culture added depth to your tour. A private lunch in the agave field sounds like a memorable highlight, especially with delicious food prepared by a local. We're delighted that both David and Elmer made your day enjoyable, fun, and relaxing. We hope you take back lasting memories from Oaxaca and look forward to welcoming you again!

Incredible experience
AMAZING day filled with nature, mezcal, Oaxacan food and stories! David, our guide (who has curated this tour himself) is a real gem! Super interesting, engaging, and very knowledgeable. The tour was perfectly organised, with beautiful mezcal tasting and a traditional Oaxacan lunch set amidst a maguey field. We'll keep memories of this day forever, thanks again David for everything! Highly recommended!

Go for hievre el aqua
The trip to hievre el aqua is totally worth the trip. I could do with the mezcal tasting and rug demonstration part of the tour. They were designed to sale stuff and not for our experience.

Tour of Mezcal and the amazing families that create this special spirit!
What an incredible adventure. It was just me and my husband on this tour and our guide, David, was incredible. He is so knowledgeable about Oaxaca and the process of making and growing mezcal. We were picked up by our hotel and taken to our first stop which was the most beautiful family-run mezcal business in the hills of Matatlan. We got to learn all about the intricate process of making mezcal and see the care and passion it takes to produce a beautiful bottle of mezcal. We ate a delicious Oaxacan lunch in the maguey fields and tasted several mezcals. David then took us to another family-run palenque and we experienced another wonderful family who have poured their lives and passions into creating mezcal. I can’t tell you how special this day was and how wonderful it was to meet such hard-working, dedicated families who created such a meaningful experience so we could taste and learn. I would recommend David and this amazing tour of mezcal to anyone. Don’t hesitate to book this tour if you are passionate about mezcal, Oaxaca, and seek to learn more from a dedicated and knowledgeable guide!

Private distillery tour
We did a day trip with David to 2 different mezcal distilleries. They were on time at the pick up site and we were off to out first destination. We enjoyed our private tour and lunch was amazing! I recommend eating something before the tour as you'll be tasting multiple mezcals before lunch. Highly recommend this tour!

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Danzantes Premium Mezcal, Hierve el Agua, Textiles & Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oaxaca City.
How much does Danzantes Premium Mezcal, Hierve el Agua, Textiles & Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $180 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 Danzantes Premium Mezcal, Hierve el Agua, Textiles & Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Danzantes Premium Mezcal, Hierve el Agua, Textiles & Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 10 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 Danzantes Premium Mezcal, Hierve el Agua, Textiles & Lunch?
+
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 Danzantes Premium Mezcal, Hierve el Agua, Textiles & Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Danzantes Premium Mezcal, Hierve el Agua, Textiles & Lunch?
+
Around 4 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Danzantes Premium Mezcal, Hierve el Agua, Textiles & Lunch 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.
