What you'll see and do
After the construction of the aqueduct by Dominican friars on a hill east of Nativitas, currently Villa de San Pedro and San Pablo Etla, the temple, convent and layout of the town were built. On the west side of the cloister there is a plaque, with the engraved legend: "Beginning and finishing year 1636". This date is considered as completion because, due to the magnitude of the building and the work done in the quarry stone, at least twenty years passed. Father Burgoa mentions that this building is due to Fathers José Calderón and Alfonso Espinoza in the year of 1620. The set consists of the atrial courtyard, temple and convent; most of them built with green quarry. The atrium has a fence with two entrances, and is equipped with gardens. The main facades of the temple and the ex-convent are integrated in a single plane oriented to the west. The cover of the temple is of two bodies. It has access with a semicircular arch and a coral window, like a niche; both flanked by intercolumnia of smooth pilasters. The auction is a pediment, with a clock on its eardrum. The interior is of a single nave covered with a barrel vault. In the presbytery is a golden cypress that houses the sculpture of the Lord of the Peñas. The convent is located on the south side of the temple. The first space it presents is the pilgrims' portal, basically a gallery composed of semicircular arches on Tuscan columns. The cloister is of two levels; the central courtyard is delimited by semicircular arcades and the corridors are domed.

Ex-Convento de Santo Domingo de Yanhuitlan
At the height of Km 119 of the road No.190 this town is located, whose name means "Pueblo Nuevo" in Nahuatl and that, formerly, was called Yosocahui, which in Mixtec means "El Llano Nuevo". Here you can admire the Temple and Ex-convent of Santo Domingo, a complex that, at the time, was the second in importance of the Dominican order in the Oaxaca region. Nowadays, it constitutes one of the most outstanding examples of the novo-Hispanic architecture of the 16th century. The construction was erected on a huge pre-Hispanic platform and although some modifications were made in the 18th century, it retains in its place the original paintings and sculptures, among which the main 16th-century altarpiece elaborated by the Sevillian painter Andrés de la Concha.

Ex-Convento de San Pedro y San Pablo Teposcolula
This population is located 23 km from the previous point by the deviation to Tlaxiaco, on the highway No. 190 in its section Oaxaca-Mexico. The Dominicans settled here in 1541, starting shortly after the construction of a fabulous religious complex, with a magnificent open chapel that is one of the most important works of the sixteenth century in New Spain. It should be noted that this chapel had two choirs, one for singers and one for musicians. At the time, the chapel was decorated with an altarpiece made by the painters Andrés de la Concha and Andrés Pereyns of whom some works are preserved inside the temple.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Day Trip around Dominican Route in a private service for your family or friends: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oaxaca City.
How much does Day Trip around Dominican Route in a private service for your family or friends cost?
+
Prices start at $268 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 Day Trip around Dominican Route in a private service for your family or friends take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Day Trip around Dominican Route in a private service for your family or friends worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Day Trip around Dominican Route in a private service for your family or friends?
+
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 Day Trip around Dominican Route in a private service for your family or friends suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Day Trip around Dominican Route in a private service for your family or friends?
+
Around 0 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day Trip around Dominican Route in a private service for your family or friends 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.
