Tequila Volcano
Volcán de Tequila
An extinct volcano about 2,920 meters high south of town, reachable by off-road vehicle or on foot for views over the entire agave fields.
Volcán de Tequila is an extinct stratovolcano rising about 2,920 meters south of the town. Its summit features the iconic volcanic neck known as El Tetillo. Dirt roads from town lead to a communications station on the mountainside. Local guides offer off-road vehicle, horseback, and hiking trips up the mountain. Along the way the landscape shifts from agave fields to oak and pine forest, and on clear days you can look out over the entire Tequila valley. The mountain roads are rough and there is no public transport, so it is best to join a tour or hire a guide. Bring plenty of water and warm clothing. The rainy season is not recommended.
