First to Mitla for the archeological sites. Then to Hierve el Agua, where calcium salts in the water form waterfall-like rocks. To end the day, we went mezcal tasting!

a few types of agave, but there are 31 types that could be used for mezcal production!

Mezcal tasting
my type of drinks: strawberry and hazelnut with pistachio
