We did the Hueradura tour a few years ago, in business since the 1880's, with some of the older plant still on display, from the 1920's. We did another trip later from Chimulco RV and Resort balinario at Villa Corona, not a very long drive. We had lunch at a restaurant in Tequila, remembering the entire street becoming engulfed as a sand storm blew down toward us. It wasn't the giant desert sand storm we sometimes see photos of, just that we stepped into what may have been a big dust devil.
The Hueradura distillery near Amatitan, just east of Tequila, had a very good tour, which cost a very small amount, but at the end we were almost left with the products they made, I think we could almost pour what we wanted to sample ourselves. very liberal that time. These products carry the Horseshoe on their label. The entire area seems dry, and I wonder if enough water is around to provide for an RV Park. Other than the distilleries, I think there isn't a lot to do close by,so many would limit themselves to only a couple of days before moving on. This is still a predominately agricultural area growing the beautiful blue agave and a few miles away, sugar cane. There is so much more to see in Guadalajara and the many, many towns beyond, to the south and east of that huge city; and the hot springs near Villa Corona.
