About this experience
You will witness the wonderful construction of the seventeenth century, built by the Dominican Friars, in San Jerónimo Tlacochahuaya, where its kinship altars stand out with images of the Virgin of the Rosary, the Diseding, Mary, the Child and the Arcangel Gabriel. One of the most beautiful pictorial works is that of Saint Jerome of the indigenous painter Juan de Arrué, who is said to be his famous work. We visited the Archaeological Zone of Yagul, a city that flourished as an urban center after the dean of Monte Albán (800 years d.c.). Later after a short abandonment, Yagul resurfaced to become a city-state, in the Oaxaca Valley, which prevailed until shortly before the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors. In the end we visited Tlacolula, where we will walk through one of the most traditional tianguis in the country, one of the most complete and colorful in Oaxaca. This fascinating place is set on Sundays on the main street of the village.

What you'll see and do
San Jeronimo Tlacochahuaya
Tlacochahuaya is a community of indigenous origin. By spoken tradition it is assumed that the village was founded in the year 1,100. Having grown the Zapotecs, they had to spread around looking for better lands, heading southeast. The inhabitants were independent and accustomed to inhabiting hills; according to this thesis, which assumed that the dispersion in which they lived and the difficult topography of the mountains in which they inhabited, was a people that went a long time without conquering. The temple and convent were built in the mid-16th century by the Dominican Friars. His protector, Friar Jordan of St. Catherine, thought of a house of observation where the Dominicans could keep the law for the sanctification of the soul. Its plateresque altars should be highlighted with images of The Virgin of the Rosary, the Descent, Mary and the Child and the Argangel Gabriel. One of the most beautiful pictorial works is the Saint Jerome of the indigenous painter Juan de Arrué.

Yagul is located on a steep hill in the Tlacolula Valley to the east of the City of Oaxaca. Yagul emerges as a center of rector in this area after the decline of Monte Albán, so it is identified as part of the cities state characteristic of the Late Classic or Epicclassic. The main structures and buildings of Yagul were distributed in various planes following the slope of the hill from north to south. One of the most interesting aspects of Yagul is the presence of mural painting on floors and walls of its structures, an element that has deserved the attention of scholars not only of archaeology, but also of art historians. On the other hand, evidence of human occupation from very early times has been found in the vicinity of Yagul; particularly in the rocky massifs adjacent to the current road (White Horse site) where rocky coats have been found with traces of cave paintings linked to nomadic groups.

The city is the main shopping center in the Tlacolula Valley area, and best known for its weekly open-air market on Sundays. This market is one of the oldest, largest and busiest in Oaxaca, mostly selling food and other needs for the many rural people who come to the city on this day to go shopping. The city is also home to a 16th-century Dominican church, whose chapel, the Chapel of the Lord of Tlacolula, is known for its ornate Baroque decoration and crucifix to which many miracles have been attributed. Outside the city itself, the municipality is home to the archaeological site of Yagul. and a number of a group of hundred caves and rock shelters documenting the prehistoric transition of people from hunting and harvesting to agriculture based on the domestication of maize and other plants.

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tlacolula, Tlacochahuaya and Yagul Market Sunday: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oaxaca City.
How much does Tlacolula, Tlacochahuaya and Yagul Market Sunday cost?
+
Prices start at $133 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 Tlacolula, Tlacochahuaya and Yagul Market Sunday take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Tlacolula, Tlacochahuaya and Yagul Market Sunday worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Oaxaca City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tlacolula, Tlacochahuaya and Yagul Market Sunday?
+
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 Tlacolula, Tlacochahuaya and Yagul Market Sunday suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tlacolula, Tlacochahuaya and Yagul Market Sunday?
+
Around 1 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tlacolula, Tlacochahuaya and Yagul Market Sunday 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.
