Tequila Express, The Legend
- Groups can also enjoy the region’s tequila heritage aboard Tequila Express, The Legend train, which has been transporting groups from Guadalajara to the town of Amatitan, the birthplace of tequila, for 10 years.

In Amatitan, groups experience the entire tequila production process at San Jose del Refugio Hacienda, founded in 1870 as the home of Herradura Tequila, then enjoy the treasures of the small town before a traditional Mexican meal complete with a colorful charreada (Mexican rodeo). tequilaexpress.com.mx
