Tule Tree (Arbol del Tule) Tours and Tickets

Q: How much does it cost to visit the Tule Tree in 2025?

There’s a modest 10 pesos fee to visit the Tule Tree. Plenty of tours include a stop at the tree on their itineraries; most visit multiple sites, usually including the ruins of Mitla, and typically cost around US$50 per person.

Q: What is the Tule Tree known for?

The Tule is a gigantic Montezuma cypress native to Mexico, which is thought to be around 2,000 years old and to possess the world’s widest trunk. The Indigenous Zapotec people consider the tree sacred and it’s a symbol of Oaxaca, as well as a reminder of the resilience of rural Mexico. Visiting the tree from Oaxaca City is a popular day trip.

Q: How much time should I spend at the Tule Tree?

That depends. Visiting the Tule Tree itself shouldn’t take longer than 10–15 minutes. That said, many visitors choose to spend time observing the knobs and shapes within its huge trunk, or even meditating under its shade. The tree also serves as a habitat for local fauna and birds.

Q: What is the best month to visit the Tule Tree?

The best time to visit Oaxaca is during the region’s dry season—roughly from November to April—when the weather is sunny and clear. However, visiting in the off-season means fewer crowds and discounted hotel rates. Try to come during Guelaguetza, a Zapotec festival held annually each July.

Q: Can you visit the Tule Tree on a guided tour?

Yes, many visitors arrive at Tule Tree with a guided tour. It’s possible to reach Santa María del Tule by colectivo (shared taxi) or private vehicle, but guided tours offer the convenience of round-trip transportation. Many also include stops at Mitla, a Zapotec archaeological site, or Hierve el Agua waterfall.

Amazing tour

We had a great experience and learned a lot about the history of the places we visited from our guide. It was a long day with kids, but there were breaks at just the right times. Ending the day with mezcal tasting was perfect. I would definitely recommend.

Adriel does it best!

Adriel did an AMAZING job with our group!! He was very attentive and had so mic knowledge to share about each place. At every stop and along the way he kept asking if anyone had questions or if we needed anything. The rides to each place felt so short due to his way of connecting with everyone. Amazing job Adriel! Thank you for the experience!!

Favorite Oaxaca Tour

Adriel and David are fantastic! Adriel's explanations are very clear and I got to see aspects of the Oaxacan countryside I likely never would have discovered on my own. The tour provided a window into the history and culture of this beautiful state and made me excited to come back one day. The sites—the Tule tree, Teotitlan del Valle, Mitlan, and Hierve el Agua—did not disappoint, and the mezcal tasting was fun, informative, and generous. Favorite tour in Oaxaca!
