world renowned drink, tequila, is available for you to explore, from its
history to the way it is made, in one of the many tours offered in the state of
Jalisco.
All aboard on the Tequila Express! Begin in Guadalajara and take a ride on this train,

you arrive at Hacienda San Jose del Refugio. Here you will witness how tequila
is made and learn about the history of this legendary drink.
