Where it goes

Plaza de los Mariachis
Mariachi was born in Jalisco. Here you hire them by the song and listen in the street, not at a ticketed show.
Hospicio Cabañas
A World Heritage site for Orozco's murals. “The Man of Fire” is in the dome: there are benches for viewing it lying down.
Tlaquepaque
The artisans' district, with pottery and glassblowing workshops. El Parián is the oldest mariachi courtyard in the area.
Mercado San Juan de Dios
The largest covered market in Latin America, on three floors. The top one is the food floor.
José Cuervo Express
The themed train from Guadalajara to Tequila with a tasting on board. It only runs some days: check the calendar.

Campos de agave azul
The agave landscape is a World Heritage site. The plant takes between seven and ten years to be ready to cut.
Destilería La Rojeña
Working since 1795, the oldest in Latin America. The visit takes you into the stone ovens and the barrel store.
Casa Sauza y los jardines Quinta Sauza
The town's other great house. Its tour explains the difference between 100% agave tequila and mixto, which is the thing actually worth knowing.
Ver jimar a un jimador
Cutting agave with the coa is a trade passed down in families. Several haciendas demonstrate it live, and it is the part of the visit nobody forgets.
Volcán de Tequila
The volcano that gave this land the volcanic soil the local agave grows in. You go up by 4x4.
