Begin your adventure at Hierve el Agua, a sacred site for the ancient Zapotecs, where you’ll marvel at stunning petrified waterfalls, standing 30 and 12 meters tall, created by carbonated spring waters cascading down the cliffs. This unique natural wonder also preserves a 2,500-year-old irrigation system. Take time to swim or hike around the natural pools and soak in the breathtaking views of the Sierra Madre del Sur.
Next, explore the agave fields where the heart of Oaxaca’s mezcal tradition comes to life. Learn about the artisanal production process of this iconic spirit, crafted from over 120 varieties of maguey, including espadín and rare wild agaves like arroqueño, madrecuixe, tepextate, and tobalá. Visit a traditional mezcal distillery, taste a range of mezcals, and enjoy a delicious Oaxacan lunch.
Your journey concludes in Teotitlán del Valle, the famed Zapotec weaving village. Here, you’ll witness master artisans creating vibrant wool textiles—rugs, curtains, and more—on wooden looms, dyed with natural pigments using ancient techniques. Discover how traditional and contemporary designs are brought to life, preserving a rich cultural legacy.
