Hierve el Agua

One of the highlights of this experience is arriving at Hierve el Agua early, before the crowds. Enjoy breathtaking views, capture stunning photos, swim in the natural pools or hike the scenic trails while taking in the peacefull morning atmosphere. Hierve el Agua is managed by the local Zapotec community according to their indigenous traditions. For this reason, certified guides are not permitted to accompany visitors inside the park. Don´t worry, it´s easy self-guided walk with clear paths leading to the pools and the main Viewpoints. We recommed bringing swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, a hat and comfortable walking shoes.

More than a cooking workshop, this is a cultural experience where you’ll discover the deep connection between cacao and the traditions of the Zapotec people.Your host will share part of their knowledge of cacao, explaining how it was once used as currency in pre-Hispanic times and how it continues to symbolize love, hospitality, and celebration during family gatherings, weddings, and Day of the Dead traditions.Guided by her, you’ll select cacao seeds on a table, roast them on a traditional wood-fired comal, peel them by hand, and grind them on a stone metate, just as chocolate has been traditionally prepared in Oaxaca’s indigenous communities for generations. Finally, you’ll whisk your own authentic hot chocolate using a traditional molinillo and enjoy it served with a local sweet bread. The perfect ending to this unforgettable cultural experience.
