Fantastic tour close to the city
Fantastic, relaxing, wonderfull, tastefull, heart warming experience, Margaux knows the flora and fauna thoroughly and is an experienced ceremonial guide, (nothing crazy) I ve never done any tour like this, and i am glad i did it with Margaux. IT is really close to the city so its a fast aproach to Oaxacas nature.
Response from the operator: Lovely ritual for the solstice with you. Thank you Jorge for sharing!

Incredible Experience.
Six of us went on a hike as part of a bachelor party. Margaux promptly picked us up at our airbnb and took us for an incredible experience. It was a highlight of our trip! The hike itself was convenient to the city center and had gorgeous views and nature. What went above and beyond though were a series of ‘grounding exercises’ that added a lot of meaning to the experience and brought us bachelors together emotionally. It’s hard to put into words how meaningful it was for our trip but I am extremely thankful to Margaux and I hope to return for another experience next year. Would absolutely recommend Margaux to anyone visiting Oaxaca. She is lovely and it was a 10/10 experience.

Mountain hike and rituals
Margaux was a wonderful guide. The hike we went on was beautiful. She pointed out all the natural vegetation and birds along the way. We ended in a peaceful open space where we did grounding rituals. Would highly recommend Margaux for any experience in Oaxaca.

Wonderful experience!
Margaux made this a very special evening for us. We loved every minute. The hike was a bit strenuous (for us) but very, very worth the effort. Beautiful views, peaceful evening, and we felt that Margaux is our new friend. We may never see her again but will always remember her. Lovely hike!
Response from the operator: Let's make sure we'll see each other again!! such a pleasure meeting you. Take care and please come back soon :)

Best ever!
This hike was amazing! Margaux shared a very special spot on the mountain. Yes, the hike was a great experience out of the city, but meeting Margaux and seeing the mountains through her eyes was the highlight.
Response from the operator: Such a beautiful sunset with you two, thank you so so much for joining the experience!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mountain Hike & Rituals: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oaxaca City.
How much does Mountain Hike & Rituals cost?
+
Prices start at $111 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 Mountain Hike & Rituals take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Mountain Hike & Rituals worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 14 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 Mountain Hike & Rituals?
+
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 Mountain Hike & Rituals suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mountain Hike & Rituals?
+
Around 5 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mountain Hike & Rituals 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 Hierve el Agua 2.5 hours, Mitla, Tule, Rugs and Mezcal for a Day, OAXACA CULTURAL FOOD TOUR, eat like a local., Monte Alban for 3hrs, Black Pottery and Alebrijes with Admissions. 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.
What is included in Mountain Hike & Rituals?
+
Included: Private transportation; binoculars; Breakfast; and Tea and coffee. Not included: Bottled water. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Mountain Hike & Rituals include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 102 listed pickup locations in and around Oaxaca City. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Mountain Hike & Rituals offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Mountain Hike & Rituals?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Mountain Hike & Rituals wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Mountain Hike & Rituals if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
