Teotitlán del Valle, in Oaxaca, is famous for the elaboration of handmade wool rugs using ancestral pedal loom techniques. What makes these rugs stand out is the use of natural pigments extracted from local plants, minerals and insects, such as cochineal, pomegranate and indigo, which gives them vibrant and long-lasting colors. This tradition, passed down through generations, reflects the rich Oaxacan culture and respect for the environment. Visiting the town is an excellent opportunity to learn about this artisanal process and purchase unique rugs made by the talented local weavers.
We explore the petrified waterfalls of Hierve el Agua, where we will spend two hours and thirty minutes to first take a walk around and then refresh in the natural pools that store water with great mineral content. During the hike you will appreciate the different views of the set of waterfalls that exist in the place. You will also find small water springs that give life to the petrified formations. The most amazing part of the place is at the bottom, where you can appreciate the fall of the waterfall and from its base you will be able to capture the best pictures for your memories. When you come back from the hike you can refresh yourself in the pools area or just take the time to meditate and contemplate the beautiful landscape, which is surrounded by mountains that are a magnificent backdrop to the site.
The visit to the archaeological site of Mitla is a tour guided by our collaborators who will share with you historical information about the place so you can understand the cosmovision of the Zapotec culture and you can also capture beautiful pictures in the palaces that were built under an impressive architecture.
