My name is Diego Hannon, I have a bachelor's degree in tourism and a master in social studies from the University of Guadalajara. I’ve published academic papers and book chapters on how cultural heritage can be used to promote sustainable development in Mexico’s rural and indigenous communities. I created this fully-private experience (no groups) to introduce travelers to the history and culture of one of Mexico’s most representative regions: the Tequila Valley. By exploring its archeological sites, villages and industrial facilities, we’ll learn in a fun and relaxed way how local inhabitants managed to build a complex biocultural system of production of agave, from which tequila is made. We’ll also learn about the latest trends in the tequila industry, and how the drink became a globally recognized symbol of Mexican culture. Since this is a private experience we can go at your own pace. I suggest we start early (8 or 9 am) to beat the crowds and avoid midday heat and traffic.
