We weren’t given too much info about hierva. We had a mexican buffet for lunch. Mescal tasting was very informative. We got to taste the harshest and smoothest mezcal

Great tour.

This experience was amazing to he whole tour was great we got to experience so many things throughout the day. I will say I didn’t enjoy the buffet they have but there are other food stalls at stops before that are great. Although I didn’t like it my parents did enjoy it so I think it’s just my personal preference.

Excellent tour!

Clay drove us directly to the waterfall site. Beautiful mountains all around. The two hours he allowed there were just right amount of time to take the hike to the foot of the fall and take a dip in the pool. Then lunch at a small place close to the Falls was excellent. The weaving demo was fascinating on how they made the dyes and spun the wall and woven the rugs. On the way back, he stopped at the Tule tree on our request since we were the only two on the tour. Excellent tour.
