-
Terminal de autobuses de Tequila 1 km
Approximate road distances. Check flights and bus schedules before you travel.
From Guadalajara it’s about 60 km via Highway 15, just over an hour by bus, car or tour. There is also a tourist train that departs Guadalajara on some days of the week.
How many days
One day as a round trip from Guadalajara, or an overnight to see the fields at leisure.
When to go
Year-round. In the dry season, from October to May, the fields are more visible; in early December there is the National Tequila Fair.
The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.
Do you need a car?
Not for the town itself. For the fields and outlying distilleries, take a tour or go by car.
