Reviews

"Raul is a very knowledgeable and passionate ambassador for his pueblo of Teotitlán del Valle and of his Zapotec culture. We spent a very fun and jam-packed day with him and learned so much. We went bird-watching and hiking, visited weaving workshops and the market, had lunch, visited the famous and massive Tule tree, and toured the local cultural museum. When it was all over, our heads and hearts were full. Raul is a very personable guide and we highly recommend him!"
