Tequila train refers to a train service featured prominently in travel blogs and personal accounts, where tourists are transported from Guadalajara (the largest city in Jalisco state) to Amatitan, a location 20 miles east of the town of Tequila, Mexico. 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 Amatitan 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.
