Tree of Tule

The largest tree by mass in the world! Witness this magnificent tree and the surrounding gardens. Parrots live in the tree, first we have seen them down here. The town is also very cute and clean. Not a place to miss.

Great place to walk around on a Sunday afternoon. We had two couples and two kids in our group. It is 20 pesos to enter the garden. There are actually 2 younger trees the the vacinity and a bunch of varieties of flowers and bushes that are shaped into animals.

That is a BIG damn tree! Like REALLY big. Totally worth seeing if you're in the area. Nice spot, pretty quiet. Nice church next door. Food vendors abound. I've been twice and it was amazing both times.

If you are a nature lover, this is the right place for you. The tree is truly spectalur. It is one of the biggest trees in the world. Around the tree is a nice garden with beautiful flowers and a nice plaza. It is definitely worth the visit :)

What a majestic beautiful piece of nature. Enormous and incredible. One of the oldest tree on earth. 20 pesos to get into the garden with the church and some other plants. The tree is protected by a metal railing from tourists. Must see

This is a witness tree that is easily accessible. It is beautiful and even though you cannot get close to it, you can enjoy it. The grounds are well maintained and cared for by staff. Always bring toilet paper because they are greedy with the squares. Be ready as well because just like most other WC they remove the toilet seats.

I rented a bike from near oaxaca zocalo and biked for about an hour to get there. But as it turned out the bike lane rides in the median of periférico, which is a high traffic highway and it was torture to be breathing the toxic fumes coming from the car’s exhaust. The bike trail it’s not well maintained, except for the las 1 or 2 kms near the tule tree. Once I arrived it was really beautiful to come to a beautiful garden where the gigantic tree stands out. The tree is fenced and if you wish to be closer to it you must pay a 20 pesos ticket fee to get in. Which I suppose is used to maintain the gorgeous gardens. Once inside there’s another fence around the tree with only some of its branches sticking out. However there are signs warning you not to touch it. And I’m here to tell you, you don’t need to touch it✨✨✨ once you’re near this ancient being, it’s impossible not to feel the high energy it chanels to the entire area. I highly encourage you to sit and meditate in front of it to really connect to it and receive its message, and gifts. I did that and it was truly beautiful. I had a huge emotional release there, then it filled me with so much love. And it gave me so many gifts and I’m still unwrapping. ✨🧚‍♂️🤍✨ I’m so grateful for the experience, I recommend it to everyone. As for the biking journey to get there end back, it was a bit unpleasant, though I’m outdoorsy and fit. So I won’t recommend it. It’s best to take another form of transportation.

What an amazing site to see while visiting Oaxaca! The Tree of Tule was so beautiful! This Montezuma Cypress tree has the largest trunk base in the world! The Tree of Tule along with the town of Santa Maria de Tule is a definite must visit when coming to Oaxaca!

What a remarkable garden, for $20 pesos you get to see 2000 years of history up close. This tree is that old and being able to observe it is such a gift. There is also a small chapel and behind it there is another tree, 1000 years old. Don't miss it!

A beautiful tree. If you want to get up close to it you must pay a small fee. But anywhere you stand you can take nice pictures. There are also shops and small restaurants around the church for souvenirs and eating.

Absolutely worth the visit, this tree is truly spectacular and powerful…the surrounding grounds are meticulous…we were lucky to happen to visit the day before its annual celebration so not overly crowded and got to see all the preparations occurring…

Such a magnificent tree right next to a beautiful church. The tree was more impressive than I expected. I think because of its size it’s almost impossible to get a good photograph.

Definitely worth a look. The surrounding area is very cute, but I did not spend 20 pesos to enter the area up close to the tree

The three itself is impressive, however, the experience as a whole is rather lackluster, there's really nothing else other than the three an a church that dates back to the 18th century, there's a $20 peso cover charge, but you're not allowed to touch or walk near the three, only during certain festivities.

If you are a nature lover then you have to visit this 2000 year old tree, it's such a beautiful thing to witness and learn about. The locals put a lot of love and care into keeping this tree and its children alive.

El Arbol de Tule is a must see if you are visiting Oaxaca. The town of Tule is beautiful and has great places to eat and shop. The legend of the tree is that the Zapotec people state it was planted 1,400 years ago by Pechocha, a priest of Ehécatl, the god of the wind. It’s worth the drive to see

A Natural Wonder You Have to See! The Tule Tree in Oaxaca is absolutely breathtaking! This ancient Montezuma cypress is said to be over 2,000 years old, and its sheer size and beauty make it one of the most awe-inspiring sights in Mexico. Standing in front of it, you can’t help but feel tiny—it has one of the largest tree trunks in the world! The town of Santa María del Tule, where the tree is located, is charming and peaceful, making the visit even more enjoyable. There are guides (sometimes local children) who love pointing out the fun shapes in the tree’s bark—animals, faces, and figures hidden in the massive trunk. It’s an easy trip from Oaxaca City and totally worth it. Whether you're into nature, photography, or just experiencing something unique, El Árbol del Tule is a must-see! 🌳

Very nice place to visite. The place is small but the trees is amazing. 20 pesos fees by person.

I'm completely in awe! What a wonderful creation of Mother Earth. I'm still assimilating how big and sacred this tree is. The plaza is also so beautiful, nice, clean, plenty of seating and shade, lots of authentic shops around. Totally worth the trip!

Once standing in front of this giant tree you feel that a human being life is marginal. It is hard for me to realiz that this tree was living since Jesus Christ was delivering his words to human beings I am really very happy that I was having the chance to be in tule

I met the Tule tree today just outside of Oaxaca City. My dog and I ran the bike path from Oaxaca City all the way to tule and back, highly recommend this route. I felt the tree’s energy from 300 yards away, like stepping into an eddy where the current of the river pulls you down and around, only to carry you gently back again. The energy is ancient, potent, and beautiful. I’m thankful a branch reaches the ground. Without it, the tree would be completely secluded behind the metal fence they’ve built around it. I understand the need for preservation. It’s over 2,000 years old, after all. But this tree isn’t meant to be distant. It’s meant to be respected, yes, but also engaged with. Touching it, sitting beside it, that’s where the grounding begins. It heals. It remembers. And in its presence, so do you. The birds sing its song. GO. Sit. Listen.
