The Tequila Train is a Mexican train service featured prominently in travel blogs and personal accounts, where tourists are transported from Guadalajara (the 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.

Itinerary

The train travels along several towns, departing from Guadalajara, the largest city in the state of Jalisco, until it reaches the town of Amatitán. 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.
