Tequila Express, operated by the Guadalajara Chamber of Commerce and Grupo México Transportes, began commercial runs
The Government of Jalisco made the reactivation of this tourist attraction possible with an investment of 81 million pesos added to the 120 million pesos contributed by the private sector
Thanks to the support and management of the Government of Jalisco, with the help of the Guadalajara Chamber of Commerce and Grupo México Transportes (Ferromex), this weekend the Tequila Express train began its operations open to the public on the Guadalajara-Tequila route, adding around 400 passengers on the runs.
This sum of wills made possible the relaunching of this route that will be key in the promotion of tourism in Guadalajara and the Tequila Route of the Agave Landscape.
Starting next week, trips will be available from Friday to Sunday.
The train will allow you to discover in a unique way the most authentic face of traditional Mexico by entering the Tequila Route of the Agave Landscape.
In addition to the 60-kilometer journey, tourists will be able to experience a unique cultural experience by visiting different distilleries or complementing their trip with a careful selection of food, drinks or simply reserving transportation.
Tequila Express, in addition to a cultural experience in Jalisco, is a way to practice responsible tourism, using one of the most ecological means of transportation while enjoying the agave landscape listed by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage Site.
This project unifies the railway tourism offer currently operated by Ferromex and the Chamber of Commerce of Guadalajara, and this synergy will improve operational efficiency to enrich the region’s tourism offer, attracting national and international visitors interested in the tequila culture and agave landscapes.
