What is a Callejoneada in Zacatecas?
Callejoneadas in Zacatecas are more than just tours; they are a tradition rooted in the state’s mining history. Originally, mine workers celebrated payday by parading through the streets with music, mezcal, and joy. The drumbeats, inspired by the miners’ tools, brought these celebrations to life, often lasting until dawn.
Over time, these festive walks evolved into a tourist attraction that blends history, music, and social interaction. Today, callejoneadas are one of the most iconic activities in Zacatecas and a must-experience for visitors.
During the tour, participants will explore iconic alleys such as Callejón del Indio Triste and Callejón de las Campanas, all while enjoying the lively notes of the Zacatecan drumbeat. Additionally, guides will offer shots of artisanal mezcal made in the state.
