Hierve El Agua is just a pretty short trip from Oaxaca Centro. It is located right near a little textile town called Mitla. Herve El Agua is a natural wonder, it used to be flowing waterfalls over the Oaxaca Valleys but now due to the high levels of calcium the waterfalls have become petrified.

Stunning petrified falls, with a pool where you can soak and look over the valley. You can get there by car or colectivo.
