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.

Grant_S, Jun 2026

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!

Miguel was our tour guide, he was great! We went to a few spots outside of Oaxaca and learned a lot. We spent just the right amount of each spot so I didn't get bored. we also got some mezcal to pre game, everything was great! Auto was our driver and he did great job driving and made us feel safe.

Jam Packed Day in Oaxaca

The tour was jam packed. We were a group of 4 (35-60) and enjoyed every single stop-full of knowledge, photo ops and enjoyment. Our guide Ede was so nice, knowledgeable and eager to share that knowledge with us. The only fault I would find with the tour is that we felt very rushed at every stop. If tour was a couple hours longer or one stop shorter, might help. But definitely recommended to friends visiting Oaxaca!
