  • 68725 Ixtlán de Juárez, Oaxaca, Mexico
    The name of Ixtlán means "place of fibers", it was translated into Nahuatl after the Spanish conquest. But the original name in Zapotec is Laa Yetzi: “laa” means leaf, and “yetzi”, thick, that is, thick leaf or magueyera. The second part of the name was given in honor of Benito Juárez, who was born in Guelatao, just 4 km from Ixtlán. Due to its biodiversity, this region is considered one of the 17 most interesting areas in the world, where four varieties of climate coexist: cold, cold temperate, semi-tropical and tropical cold. Be amazed by the panoramic view of the Mirador del Cerro de Cuachirindoo. In this beautiful viewpoint there is a monument to the Zapotec warriors Juppa and Cuachirindoo. At this point you can enjoy an unparalleled view of Ixtlán, as well as the surrounding communities.

  • 68770 San Pablo Guelatao, Oaxaca, Mexico
    Guelatao is a small mountain community, famous for being the birthplace of Don Benito Juárez García, Benemérito de las Américas. Its name means in Zapotec "Laguna del Encanto" or "Laguna Encantada". Located in the mountainous landscape of the Sierra Norte, Guelatao offers its visitors various cultural and historical attractions. A must-see is the lagoon that exists on the site, in which - oral records count - Juárez used to graze his sheep, a fact that commemorates the statue that exists on the site. Around the lagoon there are gardens and lush juniper trees.

  • 70938 Laguna Encantada, Oaxaca, Mexico
    The Guelatao Enchanted Lagoon is located in the quiet town of Guelatao de Juárez. The lagoon is surrounded by tall trees, green grasses, and some carefully tended gardens. It is the perfect place to simply sit and enjoy the landscape or to have a picnic among nature. Guelatao has probably become a popular tourist destination due to the fact that in this heavenly place, President Benito Juárez went from being a poor shepherd to being the best known president in the history of Mexico.
    60 minutes
  • 68760 Capulalpam de Méndez, Oaxaca, Mexico
    The forests of the Sierra Norte de Oaxaca shelter one of its Magical Towns: Capulálpam de Méndez, the “Land of the Capulín tree”, in the Nahuatl language. This beautiful corner is the cradle of the Zapotec culture, which preserves its customs and traditions and shares them with travelers through ecotourism tours, traditional medicine rituals or by appreciating its wood and textile craft workshops. Another attraction of the Magical Town of Capulálpam, the main square surrounded by cobbled alleys, adobe houses with tile roofs and the imposing temple of San Mateo Apóstol.

    Javier and Lelio (sp?) were absolutely awesome! It was a small tour but it was me and my partners favorite. Lelio and his family are so welcoming and kind. They have such beautiful artistry and great chocolate! Lelio as the guide was wonderful! He has a lot of knowledge on the fauna and Flora mixed in with family anecdotes. It adds to the charm! Javier is much fun and a great communicator! Felt at ease during the 1hr drive. Such a cool and nice dude!

    I was unable to go on this tour because I received a call the day before and the lady told me that some parts of the tour were unavailable. She asked if I wanted to do something else instead. I said I would rather just cancel and receive a refund because that was the only tour I wanted to go on. She said she would send me a confirmation email. Later she sent me a text saying she had made a mistake and that the tour was actually available. I told her I had already made other plans and still wanted to cancel. She said I wasn’t able to cancel and receive a refund because the tour was available and that she had just made a mistake. I talked to her supervisor and he agreed that a mistake had been made however they were still unable to give me a refund for the tour.
