Overview of your Guadalajara tour:

Magdalena, a typical Mexican charming little town in the state of Jalisco, only about an hour from Guadalajara offers you the experience of meeting one of the largest opal producers in the world. This town, full of traditions has four main opal mines where you will have the opportunity to explore and to appreciate the work of the miners and you will be able to go hunting your opal with a hammer and a helmet provided by the miners. Magdalena also has an obsidian deposit, thanks to the climatic conditions and the proximity to the Tequila volcano. Afterward, in the town of Tequila, you will take in the entire array of Flavors of Mexico. You will be able to learn the interesting process of planting and care of the agave plant, its uses for other products, and its work - traditional and industrial - to give life to Mexico's National Drink through complex steps that, in the end, give it its flavor, quality, and texture. You will not leave these sets without first tasting some of their most famous drinks.
