About this trip

Full-day hike on the Ancient Trail of Latuvi – Sierra Norte

The trail mostly follows a mountain stream and so runs mainly downhill the first half of the hike and then along the river. This is considered one of the most beautiful trails in the Pueblos Mancomunados. However, as it is deep in a valley it does not offer the kinds of panoramic vistas available on some other trails we hike.


Some safety and hike detail reminders:

My solo trip on a Sunday was more than I had ever dreamed of. Transportation was very comfortable and spacious. Angel, the guide, and I had a good laugh about it. First stop was at Tule Tree. Angel knew a lot about the history and present day info of the area and tree itself. It was impressive to say the least. Next, he took me to Tlacolula Market where another guide from another day told me to save my souvenir money for this Sunday only market. Actual artists and talented locals from the surrounding indigenous communities make real clothes, ceramics or farm/harvest their produce to sell. Yes, there will be some home goods stalls but please remember this market is also for the people and not tourists. Thank goodness there is no big box store in sight. Angel asked what I wanted or was hoping to see and he delivered. True barbacoa was for breakfast where we met and befriended a ranchero and his family. After an hr or so of browsing/shopping we left for the unbelievable Yagul. It was amazing and I was in total awe. Angel knew so much, paced us very well and didn't seemed bothered by my questions. The company also added an extra stop at my request that was arranged ahead of time during initial booking. Angel made sure we would get to it and we did! We met, chatted and ate Evangeline's famous mole (the sole reason for my trip Oaxaca). - prompt and easy communication from initial interest and booking to the actual day of the trip - it was worth my money in my opinion

La organización fue rápida y totalmente alineada a nuestra solicitud. El tour maravilloso, desde que nos recogieron en el hotel hasta que regresamos Omar, el guía, fue amable, profesional, paciente y muy flexible para adaptarse a las condiciones del grupo. El precio justo y el servicio impecable

Llegaron puntuales por nosotros al hotel, nos llevaron a los lugares que nos marcaba el itinerario, solicitamos un viaje donde estuviéramos visitando varios lugares y caminar mucho, aprendimos bastante de hierve el agua, el tule, Mitla y la visita a la mezcaleria. Nuestro guía pregunto por un tour a la mezcaleria qué no estaba dentro del itinerario y nos encantó mucho ya que superó nuestras expectativas. Los recomendamos mucho ya que fue personalizado, muchas gracias a nuestro guía Omar y a nuestro contacto Ebed por escuchar nuestras necesidades para este tour.

We customized a full day tour with Oaxaca Experience Tours via Whatsapp the week of our trip. We went to the pyramids at Monte Alban, Arrazola for alebrijes, Teotitlán for traditional rug making and an mezcaleria called Casa Sigiloso for dinner. Angel was the best tour guide we had during our trip to Oaxaca! He was knowledgeable and got us excited to learn about the history of every area we went to. The tour bus was new, comfortable and had air conditioning. We absolutely loved our experience with Oaxaca Experience Tours and would highly recommend to anyone!
