About this activity

Enjoy a private and fully customizable experience to Hierve el Agua, one of Oaxaca’s most iconic natural destinations, ideal for travelers who want to explore at their own pace.

The tour begins with pickup from your accommodation, followed by a scenic drive to Hierve el Agua. Once there, you will have enough time to enjoy the site without feeling rushed, walk along the trails, and, if you wish, swim in its natural pools.
