About Santiago Apoala

The village its 200 inhabitants are situated on both side of a nameless river. The word Apoala means “breaking water,” referring to the gorgeous waterfalls surrounding the small town. When arriving in town you'll be stopped at the tourist office where you'll be asked to pay a fee of M$100 to see the 3 differents sights (or M$50 per sight). This price includes a guide that is usually a teenager guiding you to the paths to the sights. You can do the 3 paths in one day if you arrive in the morning. Finishing with the waterfall will allow you to go a swim at warmest part of the day. As this is a long drive from Oaxaca it recommended to stay the night in town and enjoy a dinner there.
