Overview

Discover the BREATHTAKING beauty of the petrified waterfalls at Hierve el Agua. Witness stunning rock formations that resemble frozen waterfalls as we explore the site on foot and take a REFRESHING swim, all while enjoying the AWE-INSPIRING views of the surrounding landscapes. Fully guided in both ENGLISH and Spanish. This is the perfect way to visit Hierve el Agua, hike around the formations and relax at the pools WITHOUT the addition of UNNECESSARY stops to actually see the place up and down with no rush. We'll meet in downtown Oaxaca. Then, we'll begin our journey to Hierve el Agua (1:30 hr. drive). Once we arrive, we'll start the hike to the PETRIFIED waterfalls, go to the most amazing viewpoints, hike down to the base to it from below and appreciate its stunning beauty. We'll continue the hike and come back up to spend some time relaxing in the natural pools where you can dip your feet or even go for a full body dive. We'll finish off trying delicious food at a local eatery.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
