When traveling, there's nothing quite like finding experiences that leave a meaningful mark on your heart while positively impacting the communities you visit. That’s exactly what I found on my adventure with Carlos and his team at Coyote Aventuras. If you're dreaming of authentic, community-based Oaxaca tours, this is your sign to make it a reality.
Early Morning Bliss at Hierve el Agua
Our day began with an early morning trip to Hierve el Agua, one of Oaxaca’s most iconic natural wonders. Imagine watching the sun rise over breathtaking petrified waterfalls with no one else around—it felt like the world was ours! Carlos made sure we arrived before the crowds, letting us soak in the serene beauty of this magical spot. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast, featuring artisanal treats from Suculenta Productos Caseros—think fresh, local flavors that are impossible to forget.
Immersing Ourselves in Teotitlán del Valle
Next stop: Teotitlán del Valle, a charming village known for its vibrant weaving traditions. Here, Carlos introduced us to María Ospina, a talented sustainable fashion designer. María’s work is a testament to the magic of blending traditional craftsmanship with eco-friendly practices.
We also had the incredible opportunity to see how wool is naturally dyed using organic materials like cochineal, indigo, and marigolds. Watching the process was mesmerizing—this ancient art connects the past with the present in such a beautiful way. To top it off, I picked up a handwoven carpet, a piece I’ll treasure forever.
Lunch was a feast for both the stomach and the soul. We enjoyed a traditional meal prepared by locals, featuring flavors so rich they told stories of generations past.
