Simply facinating
We went here as part of a group tour. We were given a quick overview about it by our guide and told that this is the oldest and the largest tree in the world. A quick google did not mention this tree among the oldest or the largest (hmm...). But we felt this location as a chance to see a beautiful and massive tree plus a opportunity to see the real Mexico. Its 15 pesos to get inside the part to get closer to the tree which is totally worth it. The tree trunk rivals the trees I have seen in the Calaveras redwood forest in California. There is also a beautiful little cathedral where we were lucky to see a wedding, lot of locals gathered around and there was music being played. The grounds around the attraction has a beautiful park, also the whole city was well kept and clean. Highly recommend you spend and hour or so taking pictures and enjoying the place.

Amazing!
We stopped in Tule (not far from Oaxaca City) to see the tree on our way to Hierve de Agua. Said to be the largest circumference of any tree in the world, and it’s over two thousand years old. Very impressive! No photo could take the place of seeing it in person. Worth the visit.
