Tree of Tule

I wouldn't give yourself more than 15 minutes for this stop... they had it so blocked off we couldn't even get close enough to feel its energy or even touch its branches. It was very beautiful and thinking of all the history it went through was amazing, but not something that takes very much time.

It's close due to covid, but still beautiful.

Just a heads up. The City Council has decided to block off the entire central square with yellow tape and police. For good measure they have also covered the fence with plastic to prevent people from seeing the lower half of the tree. All the tourist shops are still open though. On a positive note there is an excellent nieve (fruit juice & ice) shop.

Incredible energy comes from this tree. We could only admire it from a distance because of Covid restrictions and closure of park but still. A tree of 2000 years will create quite the impact. Something worth seeing and feeling in Oaxaca even just for a brief moment. Worth the detour !

Beautiful little area better visited another time. The outdoor park and Tule tree is completely roped off, even wrapped in plastic COVID signs, and guarded by unfriendly police. Seems a shame for all the businesses open and trying to survive. Can still grab lunch!
