About this experience
We will pick you up at the hotel where you are staying in Oaxaca, beginning our visit to the famous El Tule tree, the thousand-year-old ahuehuete, the widest tree in the world, weighing 509 tons. We will go to Teotitlán del Valle, a Zapotec town of weavers who use ancestral techniques to make and paint their rugs, shaping their own designs. We will visit the archaeological zone of Mitla, a city that achieved the evolution of Zapotec architecture. Its name means "place of the dead". The extraordinary decoration in fretwork on its walls stands out. Mitla is now one of the 6 magical towns of Oaxaca. We will visit the spectacular petrified waterfalls of Hierve el Agua, one 30 m high and the other 12 m high, formed by carbonated water that falls from springs located in the upper part of the rocks. Our last one will be a Mezcal factory where we will learn about the process of this drink, and we will enjoy a tasting of the different flavors.

Hierve el Agua has been recognized as a probable sacred place of the ancient Zapotecs, which was located here perhaps due to its great natural contrasts, since it is in the heart of a steep mountain range that during the dry season is characterized by its extreme aridity. Numerous archaeologists, biologists and geologists have gathered at Hierve el Agua, as it is a site where a complex irrigation system was built more than 2,500 years ago, of which important remains still exist. The temperature of the water is slightly higher than that of the environment, fluctuating between 22 and 25 degrees Celsius and therefore well below the boiling point.

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
El Tule, Teotitlán, Mitla, Hierve el Agua and Mezcal Factory: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oaxaca City.
How much does El Tule, Teotitlán, Mitla, Hierve el Agua and Mezcal Factory cost?
+
Prices start at $91 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 El Tule, Teotitlán, Mitla, Hierve el Agua and Mezcal Factory take?
+
Plan for about 11 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 El Tule, Teotitlán, Mitla, Hierve el Agua and Mezcal Factory worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 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 food & drink in Oaxaca City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule El Tule, Teotitlán, Mitla, Hierve el Agua and Mezcal Factory?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is El Tule, Teotitlán, Mitla, Hierve el Agua and Mezcal Factory suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book El Tule, Teotitlán, Mitla, Hierve el Agua and Mezcal Factory?
+
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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does El Tule, Teotitlán, Mitla, Hierve el Agua and Mezcal Factory 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.
