Overview

Discover the natural wonder of Hierve el Agua, where the petrified waterfalls create a stunning backdrop for exploration. Enjoy a personalized experience with a small group as you wander through unique rock formations, take a swim in the pools, and soak in spectacular views of the mountains and valleys. Your guide will provide insightful information about the calcification process that created these rock formations. • Arriving early means avoiding the crowds at Hierve el Agua, giving you a more enjoyable visit. • Swim in the pools and hike the trails to view unique rock formations. On our way back to Oaxaca City, we’ll take advantage of being in the southern valley to stop at the famous Árbol del Tule—home to the widest tree trunk in the world! Your guide will share facts about this incredible living giant. Since it sits right along our return route, it’s a convenient addition, making the most of our half-day tour so you get back to Oaxaca with plenty of time left to enjoy the city.
