The '''Tequila Train''' is a [[Mexico|Mexican]] train service featured prominently in travel blogs and personal accounts, where tourists are transported from [[Guadalajara, Jalisco|Guadalajara]] (the [[List of capitals in Mexico|state capital]] of [[Jalisco]]) to [[Amatitán]], a location 30 km (20 miles) east of the town of [[Tequila, Jalisco]]. The train service, offered by a private company, is popularly known as the Tequila Train because it features [[tequila]] tastings and transports its passengers towards the distilleries of Amatitán and towards the town of Tequila. |
|||
The train is most popular during the Encuentro Internacional del Mariachi and related celebrations in and around Guadalajara, when it is impossible to get tickets -- these must be purchased days or weeks in advance. |

Over several years, the train ride has become known as the Tequila Train, and has gained international recognition, both through word of mouth and across the web. |
