During the tour we will also make a stop to eat between 1-2 pm.
It is a buffet restaurant with Oaxacan food, the recommendation is to have a light breakfast to be able to take advantage of the buffet
Buffet has been chosen since the food is ready to eat and due to the size and needs of a shared group it is the most practical
Also on occasions there are options of dishes or menu (subject to availability in the restaurant, high season)
If this is not an option, you can also bring lunch
Buffet Not Included $180 MXN -
Hierve el Agua
