Tequila Factory and Villages

During this exciting 6-hour tour of the Mazatlan countryside, you will step back in time as you observe the old ways in both lifestyle and work.

Your journey of discovery begins as you travel north of Mazatlan to La Noria, a Colonial mountain village. This former mining outpost is now known for its beautiful traditional handicrafts. Watch as artisans fashion leather goods, small coconut purses and more products by hand.

Nearby is the charming village of La Vinata where you can take a special tour of Sinaloa's oldest tequila factory. Learn how agave is harvested and observe how tequila is made both the modern way and with machinery used since the 1800s. Don't leave without enjoying a sample or two of tequila!

Continue to the village of Puerta de Canoa, where you will visit a candy shop that makes typical local Mexican candy and a horse farm that is known to be one of the best for training horses in Mexico. You will meet the horse trainer and take pictures with the horses, and then you will be treated to a small show featuring the "dancing" horses.

Next you will return to Mazatlan, where you will enjoy a delicious lunch at a favorite local restaurant. Before returning to the ship, you will visit Old Mazatlan to see the downtown Cathedral and the lookout point, which provides amazing views of the city, the lighthouse and the cruise ships below.

The tour and it's content (horse stable, tequila factory, lunch at a small town restaurant, etc.) was all great. The guide, Humberto was exceptional. We felt like we learned a lot about the area, the culture, and got a taste of local's life in small town Mexico. Wonderful tour

Well Worth It Overall

December 29, 2021

I expected a little more at the dancing horses. More of a short demo. The place is very run down, it's just the area, but they do their job well. Tequila Factory was a good tour. The issue here was the many bees that hang around the tasting area and want a taste of the sweet stuff. Excellent tequila. Next stop was lunch, delicious, plentiful, and the owner very gracious. Always fun to see the food being made. Nice trip back through the city. Ending with the viewpoint, beautiful, but there were no cliff divers diving. Our driver was Humberto. Great guy.

Had a great time.

I got to tour an authentic small town with small businesses (saddle shop, candy factory) and eat an excellent open air Mexican restaurant. I learned about the tequila process from start to finish with samples at the end. My guide was knowledgeable and gave an excellent tour of Mazatlan and the countryside. I feel this was a good value and would do it again.
