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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I appreciate the organization not canceling despite me being the other customer for this slot. My two guides were awesome, considerate and flexible with my needs and requests. I enjoyed learning about the cultures of the small towns we passed, the recreational break by the lake, the physical challenge of climbing and descending some hills, and speaking with that amazing tree.

It has a little bit of everything for everyone, and seeing the Mitla archaeological site was super cool. The pools at hierve del agua were a bit cool in October but still manageable.
