Offers of Guided Tours Oaxaca

Did you know that Oaxaca is considered the best city in the world? That's right, in 2020, it was awarded this prize by Travel + Leisure Best Awards 2020. This is why choosing a tour to visit its towns and cities is the best idea you can have.

In this brief text, we will give you some of the places you can visit and the many things you can do. The state has two main cities, so we will break down what to do in each of them.

Huatulco will surprise you. It has 30 beaches of fine golden sand and a warm climate that lasts all year long. We share with you some information about the tours you can't miss.

What are the main areas to visit in Oaxaca?

• City tour: with a duration of 3 hours, we will take you to visit the most emblematic sites of this tropical town. You will see the church of the Virgin of Guadalupe, which has one of the largest paintings of this religious icon. We will also observe the local artisans with their looms. Get ready for a picturesque spectacle. If there is one thing Oaxaca stands out for, it is the atmosphere and facades with the true Mexican colors.

• Beach tour: as you could read before, Huatulco is rich in beaches. Therefore, you can take a tour to San Agustin Bay which has two beautiful beaches, one with the same name Playa San Agustin and Playa Cacalutilla. This area is ideal if you prefer to practise a little diving.

On the other hand, you will also find options in which we will leave from Huatulco to travel to Mazunte, a journey that can take us about 1 hour to visit La Ventanilla. There is a mangrove swamp on this site, and it is the habitat of different types of reptiles, so this experience will be unique.

• Tour through charming villages: we will not let you miss a good walk to learn more about ancient culture. So we will take you on a guided tour through places like Piedra de Moros, which we will easily locate as soon as we see its giant round rock. Here you can taste recipes with a lot of history.

El Limoncito is another community that will be included in this tour. Here we will find banana plantations and adobe "factories," an element used for construction. Finally, you will be able to visit Pueblo Viejo, where the nopal cactus cultivation stands out. We will surely enjoy some tasting and its different preparations.

As we said at the beginning of this text, Oaxaca has two main cities. The second one is Puerto Escondido. What can you visit in this area? We will gladly provide you with answers:

• Chacahua National Park Tour: this site includes a series of lagoons for which our means of transportation will be a boat. We enter through its small islets to admire the incredible mangroves up close. This tour is ideal if you like to practice ecotourism or bird watching. Be careful; we will also find iguanas and the occasional crocodile.

• Tour through the Mixtec kingdom: We will take you to the coast of Oaxaca, to the municipality of Tututepec, to visit one of the most important museums in the state. Here you will find a series of objects that the inhabitants of this town preserve with excellent security.

One of the most important deities for the Mixtec culture is the goddess of the moon, which is the most important part of the museum.

On this same tour, we will make a stop at Roca Blanca Beach, so you can relax a little and admire the beauty of the coast.

• Tour to La Reforma waterfall: in order not to leave aside a little ecotourism and get to know amazing places, we will take you to San Pedro Mixtepec.You will observe a waterfall 60 meters high. Its waters flow into a beautiful river. In this same area, you will have the opportunity to visit virgin sites such as Agua Dulce beach and Barranca Honda beach.

Another of the tours that you can do, or rather a vital activity either in Huatulco or Puerto Escondido, is the release of turtles. This is one of the plans that most visitors choose, thanks to the experience that takes place at dawn, and that helps us understand the importance of the care and reproduction of these marine species.

If you are traveling with small children, the turtle release is an excellent idea to live an unforgettable moment. However, they will surely not love the idea of getting up early, but after they help in this adventure, everything will have been worth it.

Come and visit Oaxaca, the most beautiful state in the world.
