Huayápam Yù'ú Lodge

The vision and labor of a creative, worldly, and lovely Oaxaca family. Beautiful botanical grounds, and still darkness with Jupiter illuminating the autumn sky.

The location was very peaceful, gorgeous views. I love the decor, the restaurant was delicious! The staff was very helpful!!

This lodge is located about 30 minutes from Oaxaca de Juarez, off the beaten path. A place to relax, curl up on a hammock to read a book by the swimming pool, enjoy the scenary ( full mountain views) foliage and flowers, their friendly cats and dog and delucious meals. The beautiful decor of the rooms are typical authentic Oaxacan. The owners Fernando and Fernanda over extended themselves to us - laundry, served us dinner in our room, helped with airplane and taxi reservations, not to mention showing us around their property where there are additional apartments for rent, huge pottery workshop. They offer a Pre-hispanic experience: temazcal massage and sauna in a clay made igloo. Using local herbs to heal. It is similar to a sweat lodge used to cleanse one's body of toxins and negative energy. It is quite rustic, which adds to the experience. I can't say enough about the quality of our stay and its offerings. WE LOVED IT HERE!!! We definitely will return in the future.

Because I did not speak Spanish, it was difficult to communicate with the temezcal lady and as a result did not understand the entire purpose of her cleansing ritual.

The location in Huaypam was wonderful. The grounds were gorgeous. My room was beautiful and comfy. The owner was very attentive to my needs.
