What are people saying about Mitla

I recommend!
Loved each stop on this tour. The history and techniques behind the textiles were fascinating, and it was amazing to see the ruins at Mitla so well preserved. Our guide, Angel, was also very knowledgeable and his enthusiasm was contagious!

A good full day trip - Time flew by
The Hierve el Agua was really nice although it definitely a bit of a hike down and up. The petrified falls are well worth the effort and the pools are pleasant. Mitla was ok but not a great deal like Monte Alban. Tule Tree was striking and the Mezcal Distillery was fun (as one would expect). We also went to a beautiful rug making shop with no pressure to buy but a very informative look into organic dyes. The 12 hours went by quickly but the pace was very reasonable.

A good tour
Boil the water is a great place to visit, our trip was a later in the afternoon and started to get a bit cold ,so unable to dip in the pool. The other visits were good places to stop and capture the history and local traditions being still traded.

Must do!
This was a great experience. You get to learn about different aspects of the culture, learn so much about handcrafting, and experience parts of Oaxaca you wouldn't on your own while ending the night with Mezcal tasting. Can't go wrong with it. Book it, you won't regret it. Had a blast.
