Tequila, Jalisco, México

The drive from Puerto Vallarta to Guadalajara passes through the beautiful World Heritage-listed “agave landscape”, an endless expanse of blue-hued agave fields which supply the world’s tequila. Also on the way is the charming town of Tequila itself, where a visit to the Cuervo distillery convinced me to shelve my aversion to the taste of tequila for an hour and down a few.
