This private day trip from Oaxaca City packs the valley stops into one long loop: the Tule Tree, the weaving village of Teotitlán del Valle, Hierve el Agua, and the Mitla archaeological zone. The operator, wanderlust oaxaca, runs it as a private tour, so only your group travels in the vehicle and the day can be shaped around what you want to linger on. Recent guests described exactly that flexibility, saying the private format let them curate their ideal day.
The run time is 7 to 9 hours, with private air-conditioned transport, bottled water and parking fees covered. Time on the ground is roughly 20 minutes at Tule, an hour in Teotitlán del Valle, an hour and a half at Hierve el Agua, and an hour at Mitla, with driving time between stops making up the rest of the day.
It suits travellers who want these stops without joining a shared group, and who are happy paying their own entry fees at the archaeological and Hierve el Agua stops along the way. Lunch, alcoholic drinks and gratuities are not part of the price. Reviewers highlighted the weaving demonstration in Teotitlán del Valle as a standout, with one calling the explanation of wool dyeing among the best they had heard.
A few practical points will shape the day, from extra entry fees to the pace of several stops in one outing.
Common issues. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, per the listing, so travellers with limited mobility should weigh the terrain at Hierve el Agua and Mitla before booking. Lunch, alcoholic drinks, gratuities and the entrance fees at Tule, Hierve el Agua and Mitla all sit outside the tour price, which adds up across the day. Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours before the start time for a full refund; later cancellations receive nothing back.
Private air-conditioned transportation, bottled water and parking fees are included. Entry tickets, lunch, alcoholic drinks and gratuities are not. You pay those extras yourself during the day.
No. Admission at the Tule Tree, Hierve el Agua and the Mitla archaeological zone is listed as not included. Teotitlán del Valle is the only stop with free admission.
Lunch is not included and is not listed among the inclusions. You will need to buy your own meal during the day.
The tour runs 7 to 9 hours. That covers about 20 minutes at the Tule Tree, an hour in Teotitlán del Valle, an hour and 30 minutes at Hierve el Agua, an hour at Mitla, and the driving between them.
The listing says the tour is not wheelchair accessible but is pushchair accessible, with infant seats available and service animals allowed. Most travellers can participate, and the private format means the pace can be adjusted for a family.
Cancel at least 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Cancel or request changes within 24 hours of the start time and there is no refund, and the cut-off is based on local time.
