You step off the van into highland air that smells faintly of citrus and cooked agave. The horizon is cut by the low cone of the Tequila Volcano and a ribbon of blue agave leaves stretches in regimented rows toward it. Light here is sharp; the landscape feels deliberate—worked by people and shaped by fire and stone.
