Four wagons make the tour  from Guadalajara to Amatitan and 68 people can enjoy the magical journey "Tequila Express, The Legend", in which they penetrate to the production of the drink most representative of Mexico.
The trip lasts an hour and a half and is accompanied by, what else?, Mariachi music and Mexican snacks.
The visit includes the Hacienda San Jose del Refugio, the oldest in the country, where is produced the Tequila Herradura.
