Travel from central Oaxaca to Hierve el Agua for three hours of hiking, views, swimming, and lunch time, then visit a mezcal distillery for a guided tasting. English-speaking guides such as Leon, Margarita, Steph, and Braulio keep the day relaxed, with local guides available inside the park.

“We were lucky to have Stef as a guide and Rodrigo as our driver. Both were very professional, yet relaxed and fun. Stef explained to us the history of the Oaxaca region and its traditions. Hierve el agua was breathtaking (in every sense-I don’t reccomend doing the hike if you are not in good shape) and the visit to the Mezcal distillery was great- we leaned all about the distillation process and the various kinds of agave and mezcal. Our group was small (just 7 of us) which made for a great experience as well. Overall, we would highly recommend this tour if you’re coming to Oaxaca.”

At the Museo del Tequila y el Mezcal in Plaza Garibaldi, a bilingual guide such as Ricardo, Maria, or Victor explains agave, production, and Mexican drinking culture. You tour the exhibits, taste one blanco, one reposado, and two mezcals, then browse the shop and restaurant.

“Ricardo was extremely knowledgeable. As a novice tequila drinker from the United States, I found it fascinating to learn about the traditions of tequila, how it originated, and how it has evolved over time. Ricardo walked us through every step of the process — from the history and families who first created tequila, to the marketing and branching out of some of the most famous producers. The tasting itself was an incredible experience. Sampling different tequilas back-to-back was eye-opening, as it allowed us to truly notice the differences in quality, flavor profiles, and styles. Ricardo was very attentive, patient, and thorough in answering all of our questions. Overall, this was…”
