Itinerary

The adventure begins picking you up right from your hotel starting at 8:00a.m.
We begin our adventure with a hike to the twin crags, a canyon formation which is exactly the same whichever way you choose to look at it and appears to be split exactly in half, then we continue our trail to the cave paintings of a prehistoric cave depicting Corn, the Sun and a Dog.
We continue our day to the impressive waterfalls of Santiago Apoala. First we visit the Serpiente and Cola de Caballo waterfalls, and then we follow our trail to the Velo de Novia waterfall, the most impressive of them all. At its base there is a pool where, depending on the season of the year, you can swim in vibrant blue waters that make you fall in love with the water.
Finally, we will visit a kind of lagoon that surprises for the tranquility of its waters and its intense turquoise blue color, where you can swim or just relax on the shore.
After a good hike, we will enjoy delicious regional dishes to recover our energies.
We will conclude our day at this viewpoint located at the top of a rock that offers panoramic views of Santiago Apoala, before heading back to the city of Oaxaca.
