More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A morning breeze moves through rows of agave like a low, curious voice as you step off the van into the foothills above Tepotzotlán. The plants fan their thick leaves, and a tlachiquero—skilled, patient—climbs to the heart of an agave to coax out aguamiel, the sap that will ferment into pulque. You taste the sweet sap raw, then the tang of fresh pulque and a curado flavored with local fruit; each sip maps the land and labor behind it.
