TEQUILA TRAIN! (part 2 - San Jose Hacienda)

In Amatitlan is the San Jose Hacienda where Cass Herradura Tequila is produced. We saw the entire production process of tequila and the old factory. The Hacienda was so clean and beautiful and the tour was very interesting. They served us a Mexican buffet and had mariachis, singers, dancers, and dancing for entertainment. The whole thing was very well done.

Live entertainment

At the end of the entertainment, the hosts of each train car led the group in dancing. Lydia and Ryan decided that they wanted to dance up on the stage too. They were a hit!
