Trips in the Works for the Future:

In the higher desert region of the state of Jalisco, Guadalajara is known for the wonderful colonial stone architecture, as the home of mariachi music, and the heartland of tequila production. The town of Tequila will be toured and we will see how tequila agaves are grown and turned into one of the most iconic of all Mexican products!
