WHY THIS EXPERIENCE IS DIFFERENT?
First of all: This experience is for travelers looking for culture,
not for party tourism
This is not a commercial mezcal tour.
We work with small, family-run palenques that are not open to mass tourism.
Groups are limited to 4 people to protect the communities and the mezcal tradition.
Your booking directly supports Viajeros del Mezcal, a local non-profit promoting sustainability and fair trade in the mezcal chain.
