Beautiful sights in Oaxaca

Nil and I decided to go on an arranged tour Wednesday to see some of the beautiful sights here in Oaxaca, and since it was way cheaper on a tour we ended up doing that.
We ended on a tour with only 5 other people, but 4 of them were some horrible mexican ladies. I am sorry to say it, but many of the mexican ladies have absolutely no respect they are rude and just say the first thing that comes to mind. Before we even had said hallo to them they had insulted Nil because she is argentinian (many people here find argentinian people arrogant) and they just didn't have any idea of when to shut up, so that was kind of a task in itself to be around them all day.
That said, we visited many beautiful sights, first was Tule, a huge tree 45 meters high and 7 meters in diameter, something like that:

Next stop was a handcraft place where they still make carpets the traditional way, colouring the wool with natural products:

Mezcal is a tipical alcoholic drink, similar to tequila but there is apparently some difference in the destilation or something like that. In the tour we passed by a place where they make mezcal:

It is a worm in the bottle, and when ou serve the mezcal, when it is served with your drink you have to eat it.

Mitla is an arquelogical site in Oaxaca, very beautiful and different from what I have seen in other places. It had beautiful decoration, take a look:

The last stop was Hierve el agua, boiled water, 2500 meters over sea level and it has some stonewaterfalls and some small pools of water. It is called hierve el agua since the water is comming up with lots of pressure so it looks like it is boiling, but it is actually not that hot at all, but very beautiful indeed:

Back in Oaxaca we had great dinner in or favorite restaurant that we found the oter day, great vegetarian food too, and cheap ;)
