Coyote Aventuras 🐺- Oaxaca Tours and Outdoor Adventures⛰️🌿🚴🏻‍♀️🌊🍄

we booked two tours with Coyote: A visit at Hierve el Agua with a short hike, the waterfall and a visit at a mezcal palanque, and a hike in the Ixtepeji in the Sierra Norte. It was worth every Euro! Great people, wonderful views and super interesting stories. We’ve learnt a lot, in the first place thanks to CHRISTIAN who is a gentle, professional, friendly, and simply the best guide we could imagine. Gracias, Coyotes! We will take back home your good vibes 😎😎

Coyote Adventures is an excellent example of responsible, community-focused tourism. Their communication was clear and friendly throughout, and their strong commitment to sustainability and conservation in Oaxaca really shows. Our guide was knowledgeable and deeply connected to the local community, making the experience authentic and meaningful. We also appreciated the great local food and cultural recommendations. Highly recommend Coyote Adventures for anyone seeking an ethical, enriching, and well-organized adventure—whether hiking, biking, climbing, or cultural 💚

Amazing day out with our fantastic guide, Christian, we did the Hierve el Agua + Mezcal tour. One of the best days of our trip and such an amazing experience, getting to understand the Oaxaca culture and history. Christian was so knowledgeable and friendly, 10/10 would absolutely recommend.

I joined the Sierra Norte hiking tour - truly a highlight of my trip to Oaxaca. Angel, our guide was great as was our local guide - she was so knowledgeable and kind. I loved every minute of the hike! I highly recommend Coyote Adventures- they were very responsive and friendly!

Our Dia de Los Muertes tour was the highlight of our trip to Oaxaca. It should be noted that this tour only runs once per year and is subject to changes to the schedule by the town of San Gabriel Etla - so the agenda is flexible. Our host family was incredibly warm and welcoming and the meal was delicious. Our guide, Shai, oversaw the dedication to our Ofrenda and a heartfelt welcome to our departed loved ones. Overall a great tour if you are in Oaxaca during Day of the Dead.

Had an amazing day with Angel as our guide to Hierve del Aqua! This place is so incredibly beautiful, and to be there immersed in nature, was such a gift. The travel through the countryside was gorgeous as the sun was rising. The frozen waterfalls and beautiful peaceful pools with incredible views is truly not to be missed. The nature hike is definitely worth it and I was glad to have the offered hiking poles as the path was often rocky. Being rewarded with the time at Las Salinas waterfall enhanced the experience of our visit to the country. Topping off our day with a tour, tasting, and late lunch at a mezcal distiller on the way back was another highlight to an already amazing day. We felt totally a part of the family there! Thank you!

From Petrified Waterfalls to Living Traditions — An Unforgettable Day! When I started planning my trip to Oaxaca, I knew I had to find a way to see El Hierve el Agua — it’s such a one-of-a-kind place, it was right at the top of my list. I wasn't sure how best to visit, but I’m so glad I chose Coyote Aventuras. Honestly, I can't imagine a better, more meaningful way to experience its majesty. The day began with breakfast in a tiny village hamlet — cozy, authentic, and absolutely delicious. It was hands down one of the tastiest meals we had during our entire trip. Sharing a homemade meal in such a warm, welcoming setting made the experience even richer. Then came the early morning hike to Hierve el Agua itself. Because of our timing, we had the site almost to ourselves and were able to catch the most incredible photos from every angle of the unique petrified waterfalls. After a refreshing dip in the pools at the top, we set off on the main hike: a tougher, but deeply rewarding trek across the valley. The landscape was stunning in every direction, and we got to see Oaxaca’s unique flora and fauna up close — a real highlight thanks to our amazing guide. Honestly, my main motivation for booking this tour was El Hierve el Agua. The second part — visiting Teotitlán del Valle — felt like a nice bonus, but not something I was overly focused on. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The visit to Teotitlán del Valle turned out to be just as unforgettable as Hierve itself. Josephina and her daughters welcomed us with open arms, serving another gorgeous, homemade meal — truly among the best food we had in Oaxaca. Afterward, Josephina demonstrated the traditional art of natural dyeing. Watching her create an entire kaleidoscope of colors using only local plants, insects, and minerals was mesmerizing — pure "Zapotec science" in action. I never would have guessed how they conjured vibrant turquoises, pinks, and so many more shades. There was absolutely zero pressure to buy anything, but seeing the love, skill, and heritage woven into every piece, it was impossible to resist. We took home a beautiful memento that we’ll treasure forever. A huge part of what made this day so special was our guide, Marlene. She was everything you could hope for and more — friendly, warm, deeply knowledgeable about Mexican culture, history, customs, flora, and fauna. Her quick hands even caught a cicada for us to admire up close! It seemed like there wasn’t a plant or bird she didn’t recognize. Marlene’s authenticity and her genuine relationships with every local we met made the experience feel deeply personal and connected. We also felt lucky to see Jorge behind the wheel again — this was our second trip with Coyote Aventuras! In his expert care, we were able to relax completely (and even sneak in a quick nap during the early morning drive). Booking with Coyote Aventuras was incredibly easy — clear, professional, and smooth from start to finish. Beyond just logistics, you can feel how much love, respect, and care they have for the nature and people of Oaxaca. It permeates every part of the experience and made the whole day that much more meaningful. I will absolutely be going on another adventure with Coyote Aventuras the next time I'm lucky enough to return to Oaxaca. If you’re considering this tour: do it. You won’t just see Oaxaca’s beauty — you’ll connect with its heart.

Excellent, highly recommended. We did both the street art walk and also the hike with rescue dogs. Both guides were very friendly and knowledgeable, and speak excellent English. We learned a lot on both trips. They are not the cheapest but there are no hidden extra costs, and its very well organized. I think its value for money.
