Beautiful hierve el agua

Published on Oct, 2024

The hike to hierve el agua was amazing as were Paula and Ramsys. Please excuse me if I got the names wrong. They were so kind, caring and gave us such a fantastic insight into the area as a whole. The mezcal tasting was interesting. As we opted out of the second part of the hike due to the heat we went to el tule to see the 2000 year old tree. It was good to see another little town in Oaxaca. Would recommend this company any time. Would have loved to do another tour with them. Thank you Paula, Ramsys and Coyote

We hiked from Hierve to a "locals" waterfall, which we had all to ourselves. We then were treated to an incredible mezca

An absolutely incredible experience. The guide was personable, experienced and competent. They took us to spots that I would have never encountered independently and you felt how much the guide loves Oaxaca and being in the environment. I highly recommend booking a tour with this thoughtful company.

Bigger Adventure Than Expected

Published on Jun, 2024

This was an unforgettable experience that I will recommend to all my friends/family who visit Oaxaca. Not only were the sights unique and beautiful, but the visit to Jeronimo's mezcal was one of my favorite memories from the whole trip. I must say, the second hike was very hard; the distance and expectations were not disclosed and I felt badly for someone on the trip who had never hiked before (they were miserable). The first hike is easy, so we didn't think twice about the second leg of the trip. But the second hike is completely exposed, challenging, long and very hot in the summer! However, it was worth it for the end destination. There was plenty of time given to us to swim in the pools and relax at the secret waterfall, I never felt like I was rushing. I appreciate that this tour starts early so we could miss the crowds and enjoy a whole day of adventure. This tour was the highlight of my visit to Oaxaca!!

An absolute must

The whole day was amazing! Diego was great and so passionate about not just the plants and animals of the area but the people and cultures of Mexico to. To top it all of the mezcal tasting was amazing with Jeronimo and his family who are such kind and beautiful people and it was a privilege to be welcomed into there home for a freshly cooled meal and delicious mezcals. Cannot recommend this trip enough.

Highlight of our Oaxaca trip!

Published on May, 2024

Our private group of 11 had an amazing time!!! The food, hike, swimming, and mezcal were all perfect! Our guide, Paula, was the BEST! She really made the experience special with her genuine and deep understanding of the culture and nature around us. She was also very in tune with how the group was feeling and made sure everyone was having a great time:)
