Home to the Herradura distillery — one of the world's largest tequila producers — Amatitán is a small town in Jalisco's Tequila Valley with centuries of agave cultivation behind it. The distillery, which also produces Jimador tequila, is the town's main employer and open to tours. On Saturdays, the Tequila Herradura Express train runs from Guadalajara, combining distillery visits with a stop at the nearby city of Tequila. The wider region holds several UNESCO World Heritage sites.
