Tequila, Tiles & Shopping

Your journey begins as you board your air-conditioned transportation at the pier and head to downtown Puerto Vallarta for a walking tour that includes a brief visit to the popular Malecón boardwalk with statues by renowned Mexican artists, the zocalo, City Hall and the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Afterwards, travel to a local tile factory where you'll get a fascinating introduction to the production of colorful Mexican tiles. See how they are formed, painted and fired. You'll also find plenty of shopping opportunities, as the main floor of the factory has myriad of vibrant ceramics to choose from.

We'll stop at a local plaza for some souvenir shopping before heading to the next venue on your journey: one of the finest tequila producers in the area. At this Hacienda, learn the craft used to turn the blue agave cactus into Mexico's powerful and legendary tequila. Sample the tequila and take a tour of the tequila making process. Afterwards, enjoy a traditional farm-to-table rancho lunch, including tacos with handmade corn tortillas and regional salsas. Afterwards, enjoy some free time to explore the grounds and complete your shopping.
