Join us at 6:00 a.m. at Coyote Adventures. Our first stop will be in San Isidro Roaguía, where we’ll enjoy a picnic-style breakfast, ensuring you’re fully prepared for our hike.

In all of Coyote Adventures’ experiences, we focus on giving back to the earth. Upon arriving at Hierve el Agua, we’ll conduct a brief ceremony to make a small offering to Pachamama, the Mother Earth goddess, as a sign of gratitude and respect for her protection during our journey. This ritual is a tradition of the Zapotec, Mixe, and Mixtec communities, connecting us deeply with the land that graciously hosts us.

After the ceremony, we’ll begin a short hike along a trail that will allow us to admire the stunning views of the petrified waterfalls of Hierve el Agua. This place is unique as it is one of only two petrified waterfalls in the world. During the hike, your guide will share local stories about the origin of this sacred site and the legends surrounding it. After completing the walk, you’ll have free time to relax and take a dip in the mineral thermal waters. Although the name “Hierve el Agua” might suggest that the waters are hot, they are actually quite cool, so don’t forget to bring a towel.

Next, we’ll begin a 5 km (3 miles) hike towards Las Salinas, a secret and lesser-known spot for travelers. In this secluded corner, you’ll be able to enjoy nature’s beauty at its finest. Here, you’ll have a moment to reflect, connect with nature, and, if you wish, take another dip in the revitalizing mineral waters. Be sure to wear sturdy shoes, as the trail can be rocky in some sections.

Finally, we’ll head to Teotitlán del Valle, a village famous for its Zapotec textile tradition. In this community, the locals continue to cultivate the art of weaving with wool and natural dyes, preserving their ancestral customs. Upon arrival in Teotitlán, we’ll tour the community, passing cultural landmarks such as the Church of San Juan Bautista, a colonial architectural gem built on an ancient Zapotec temple. We’ll also visit the local market, filled with crafts, fresh products, and traditional food.

After the tour, we’ll visit one of our local collaborators, where you’ll sample homemade dishes while learning about the Zapotec weaving process, which has been passed down through generations. Among the delights you’ll try, be sure not to miss the homemade mole, considered by many to be one of the best in Oaxaca.
