Traditional pulque and tequila tasting at Teotihuacan

At a tasting venue around Teotihuacan, pulque and tequila, both made from the agave plant, are tasted side by side. Pulque is a very old drink of the region, thick and slightly sour. Hearing the story of these drinks close to the ancient city becomes part of the trip.

Pulque is an unusual flavour on a first try, so begin with small sips. The tasting is alcoholic, so go slowly with water. High altitude makes the effect felt sooner. If you combine it with the pyramids, saving the tasting for after the walking is more comfortable.
