Tequila Train
Tequila train refers to a service offered by the Tequila Express Train, featured in hundreds of travel blogs and 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 is most popular during the yearly celebrations in Guadalajara, when it is impossible to get tickets -- these must be purchased days or weeks in advance.
The train travels along several towns, departing from Guadalajara, the capital of Jalisco state, until it reaches the town of Amatitan. The ticket price is approximately 70 US dollars. 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.
