Tequila Experience at Discover Mexico
Tequila Experience at Discover Mexico
Discover Mexico Park, will allow you to experience the full spectrum of Mexico’s rich heritage, vibrant art, culture, regional cuisine and even tequila. Upon arrival, you’ll relax in air-conditioned comfort as you view Discover Mexico’s exclusive four-screen video collage. Vibrant images from all over the Mexico will take you from the Riviera Maya through Oaxaca to Chihuahua. Next you’ll visit Discover Mexico’s Museum of Popular Arts; here you will have an opportunity to view works from all over the country, in one location, including the famous “Barro Negro” pottery and the colorful iconic “Alebrijes” from Oaxaca.
Trace the evolution of Mexico’s ancient civilizations as you tour replicas of Chichén Itzá and other pyramids built by the early Aztec, Maya, Olmec and Totonac people. The Spanish colonial era is reborn in the park’s reproductions of grand monuments, cathedrals, and the Paseo de la Reforma, Mexico City’s elegant boulevard.
Then it’s time to taste the history of Mexico. Working with the dedicated staff at the Jose Curevo distillery, Discover Mexico has created a comprehensive tour on the origins, history and types of tequilas produced. Your “tequilero” will guide you through three distinctly different Jose Cuervo tequilas: Blanco, Reposado and Añejo (aged). You’ll discover that much like a fine single-malt scotch, there are Tequilas of surpassing quality that are to be similarly sipped and savored. Afterwards your guide will teach you how to make the perfect margarita, so you can share with the folks back home.
After you’ve worked up an appetite, it’s time to taste the history of Mexico. You will have the opportunity to enjoy a delicious open air lunch, featuring regional Mexican food. Watch hand-made corn tortillas cooked to perfection for your very own taco buffet. Before you leave the park, be sure and visit Discover Mexico’s newest attraction, the Papantla Flyers and check out the Hand Crafts and Souvenir Shop!!!
