We had an incredible experience with Fernando on a multi-day hiking and biking trip, as well as the street art tour with Shai. Fernando was an amazing guide - it was a pleasure to get to know him (we all miss miss him already!), and he was flexible, went out of his way to accommodate us, and always coming up with great new adventures that weren't on the original itinerary (for example a beautiful sunrise hike). We were able to meet amazing people, enjoy delicious food, see incredible archeological and artistic sites and enjoy great biking and hiking as well as stay in wonderful places. We also had a great day with Shai, who was a wonderful and informative guide on the Street Art tour. We loved every day and cannot recommend Coyote Adventures highly enough - they provide a unique and incredibly rewarding experience!

My husband and I went on a Panoramic mountain bike ride lead by Shai and Yefra. Their enthusiasm and love of Oaxaca, its culture, biking, and natural beauty were evident and catching. Both spoke excellent English and catered the ride to our specific skills...I skipped the difficult climb, @ 2 miles, and steep downhill and was able to ride in the van while my husband went up with the guides. I met them at the top so could still see the incredible view and walk across the suspension bridge. Most of the ride after that was downhill, not too steep, on well kept dirt roads. It was a fantastic day! Everything was taking care of from beginning to end: van ride up to the little Eco villages for a delicious breakfast, snacks, helmets, clean well kept mountain bikes, water bottles, a fantastic lunch hosted in the home of Josefina, a talented artisan weaver and her family who gave a detailed demonstration. This experience was outstanding! I appreciated there were no tacked on fees like the other tours we had done. We highly recommend Coyote Adventures nod were so happy we stumbled across them while in Oaxaca. We had not intended to bike while there but this was our favorite thing we did.

This package usually doesn't include the Mezcal experience. Coyote was very accommodating for our group when we asked if there was a way we could squeeze the mezcal experience in. It was worth every last dime.
We drove to a small town where we met Jeronimo at his agave ranch. Here, this third generation Maestro Mezcalero showed us every part of his distilling process; from the harvest to the bottling of this amazing drink. After taking a tour around his scenic property, he invited us on to his patio where he presented the variety of Mezcals he distills. This was the first time I enjoyed sipping Mezcal and have since fallen in love with it.
After a small snack at Jeronimos, we drove to Teotitlan where we met Josephina and her family. After an amazing meal cooked by Josephina and her family (best mole I've ever had), we received a short tour of the textile shop. Josephina showed us how they spin the string and dye it using natural ingredients like berries and insects. Josephinas husband showed us the weaving techniques that are used to complete their wonderful rugs, many of which are filled with intricate patterns that take weeks to finish.
Unfortunately, as we were wrapping up at Josephinas, it started to pour rain in Teotitlan. The guide gave us an option to go on the hike or head back to Oaxaca early which is what we ended up doing. I would recommend signing up for this package if you're interested in learning about the traditional arts of this state.

The murals in Oaxaca are intriguing and abundant. When you go with one of the Coyote guides, you learn the stories behind the murals, set in the context of local art and politics. I took the bike tour while my friend took the walking tour the next day. The bikes were crappy, we didn't have helmets, and the cobblestone streets are tough -- I think I'd take the walking tour next time.

My partner and I went on a hike w/ Coyote Aventuras at the beautiful Apoala Waterfall in the north region of Oaxaca. Overall, it was a remarkable experience and very professionally handled. The experience included transportation to and from Oaxaca City, the hike, and a nice lunch.
Our guides from Coyote were Fernando and Sebastian. Both were courteous, professional, and good company. Our local guide from the village, Hilda, was great and knew the hiking trail backwards and forwards. Since it was a smaller group that day w/ relatively experienced hikers, we had a chance to traverse what seemed to be the entire loop with 3 different swimming sites. I appreciated the extra care we received with nice meals and snacks. Fernando even found a way to provide towels for us, which was much appreciated. The waterfall itself was absolutely majestic and an unforgettable experience. I also very much appreciated the hospitality we received from the village locals, which was the most heartwarming part of the tour.
I would recommend this activity to anyone who is looking for an outdoor adventure during a day away from Oaxaca City.

This was a great day! We met at the bike shop and then took off around the town, where we got to benefit from our guide's extensive local knowledge about the murals around the city of Oaxaca. My photos from this excursion are some of my favorites from the whole week. Totally worth it and would defintely do something like this again.

This was truly one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Fernando brought us on a beautiful journey through the Sierra Norte to a 6th generation pulenque in the most beautiful setting you could imagine. We got to see all the inner workings of the beautiful process of making mezcal, fed the most amazing tamales I have ever blessed my mouth with. We then saw the inner workings of the art of manual textile manufacturing with 3 generations of women present. We were then taken on a tour through Tule to see the widest tree in the world and to have one of the best meals of my life. Fernando was able to answer any of our questions and was an absolute joy to be around. You would be a fool for not taking a tour with Fernando. I already have two more scheduled.

I'd highly recommend doing this trip with Coyote. They took me and another guest for a 3 day 2 night excursion. On the way up to San Jose from Oaxaca de Juarez, we stopped in Ocotlan to visit a traditional artisanal knife making shop. Coyote booked us at the amazing Refugio Tierra de la Terraza, a few kilometers outside the town of of San Jose. The Refugio is a remarkable organic farm with rustic lodges, incredible food, gardens, yoga classes, lush forest and remarkable views of the mountains. We did two hikes on the property, dined around in the town of San Jose, and had great farm to table vegan meals at the Refugio. The weekend finished up on Sunday with a visit to local shaman Paco who does a full traditional temazcal ceremony on his property. It is a great idea to do this trip with people like Coyote who know there way around the area and know the people and places that will make for a great experience.

We did a mountain biking and sunset hiking tour. The bikes were amazing quality which made us feel very confident on the bike immediately. It was a lot of fun and the views were stunning. After that we had lunch at a family that made all traditional food: soup, mole, tamale, quesadillas and a few other dishes. This was for sure one of the best meals we have had this trip. After the meal we went hiking to the top of a mountain to see the sunset en enjoy the amazing view. Fernando and Sebastian are great guides. They’re friendly, knowledgeable and a lot of fun to hang out with. Definitely recommending to book a tournwith them if you are into something active!

We did two hikes with Coyote during our week in Oaxaca - Ixtepi Forest and Hierve al Agua + Mezcal experience. Paola and Diego were passionate guides who were so informative and always on hand to help. It was great to escape the city on both occasions to see more of the surrounding area.
Unfortunately we had originally booked to go on the historic trail hike but that was cancelled a few days before as they didn't reach the minimum booking number. We always understood that was a risk but were really disappointed as we'd booked that months in advance. Our replacement hike in Ixtepi was still great though. Paola laid on a brilliant picnic spread and taught us all about the forest. The hike was a good level. A bit of a workout to reach the summit for a brilliant view but not too hard. Would recommend.
The second hike was Hierve al Agua + Mezcal experience. A very early start and a shame not to capitalise on that and go straight to the site. Would have preferred to skip the cafe breakfast and eat something there. Hikes were surprisingly tough given they were all mainly downhill but the heat made it tricky. It made the swim spots really worthwhile. Particularly loved the 'secret' second swim spot. The mezcal experience was pretty good - in a very rustic setting with a nice family running it. The experience itself went on a bit too long though. I appreciate the generosity but you would need to LOVE mezcal to really appreciate it, not your average taster. Could shorten that section down to 1.5 hours instead of 3.
Overall would definitely recommend booking with Coyote when you're in Oaxaca just make sure you read the details of what you're booking carefully!

I am interested in the Hike and Swim at Apoala Waterfalls tour, however would love to know its difficulty. I am in good shape and can easily do trail walking (3-4 miles) however I know uphill hiking is different. Has anyone had experience with this particular tour who could share their experience? It looks truly amazing.

I am a friend of a friend who knows Tom Nugent. I would like two days touring for six adults and three children during the week of August 11 -17.
I keep calling and your phone seems perpetually busy.
Would you please reply by email so that I can tell you more details? Thank you.
