Oaxaca's two great archaeological sites, its most famous tree, and a weaving village, in one private day.
A private full-day tour combining Monte Albán and Mitla — Oaxaca's two major Zapotec and Mixtec archaeological sites — with the giant Árbol del Tule and a family weaving workshop in Teotitlán del Valle.
This tour is built around Oaxaca's two must-see ruins rather than the Hierve el Agua route: Monte Albán, the hilltop Zapotec capital, and Mitla, famous for its intricate stone fretwork mosaics unlike anything else in Mesoamerica. Along the way, you'll also stop at the Árbol del Tule, one of the widest trees on Earth, and a family weaving workshop in Teotitlán del Valle. Because it's private, your guide sets the pace rather than a bus timetable.
A popular starting point — every Voyzo itinerary is fully customizable, so we'll shape the order and stops around your group.
Hotel pickup in Oaxaca City included, with private transportation throughout the day.
The Zapotec hilltop capital, with its great plaza and valley views.
Intricate geometric fretwork carved directly into stone — a building style unique to Mitla among Mesoamerican sites.
The famous Montezuma cypress in Santa María del Tule, among the widest tree trunks in the world.
A stop at a family weaving workshop to see rugs made on traditional looms with natural dyes.
Back to your hotel, home, or the airport — whenever your day wraps up.

Mitla sits roughly 24 miles southeast of Oaxaca City. Its name comes from the Nahuatl Mictlán, the 'place of the dead', while its Zapotec name, Lyobaa, means 'place of rest'. While Monte Albán was the political heart of the Zapotecs, Mitla became their main religious centre later, as Mixtec influence grew in the area.
The famous fretwork is made of small, finely cut stones fitted together without mortar. The Hall of Columns has six monolithic columns, and in the 17th century the Spanish built the church of San Pablo over one of the courtyards, reusing materials from the older buildings.
The Árbol del Tule is a Montezuma cypress with one of the stoutest trunks in the world, with circumference measured at about 42 m in 2005. Its age is uncertain, with estimates ranging from about 1,200 to 3,000 years, and the best scientific estimate from growth rates is around 1,433-1,600 years. DNA analysis has confirmed it is a single tree.
