EMPIRE MIXTECA

You will start the tour visit to El Tule, a small town famous for its millenary tree known as “El Árbol del Tule”, which is revered as one of the oldest and largest living beings in the world. You will continue to a mezcal factory, where you will have the opportunity to learn about the mezcal production process, from agave harvesting to distillation. You will go to the archaeological zone of Mitla, richly decorated by geometric figures; this place is dedicated to the God of death, Mictlantecuhtli; the Mixtec name for it is Mictlán ‘place of the dead” and in Zapotec: Lyobaá ‘place of rest’. We will then head to Teotitlán del Valle, where local artisans create traditional rugs and textiles. Finally we will visit Hierve el Agua, a surprising place where mineral springs create petrified formations that resemble frozen waterfalls.
