Two remarkable tours stand out in San Luis Potosi City, each offering distinct cultural experiences. The 5-hour Mezcal Route deserves top billing – it’s a fascinating journey into Mexico’s traditional drinks, where you’ll learn how local families have produced mezcal and pulque for generations. I’m especially impressed by how the tour guides make the complex distillation process easy to understand.
The Xilitla garden tour is another winner, featuring the wonderfully bizarre Las Pozas sculpture garden. You’ll explore concrete masterpieces jutting out from lush jungle vegetation, followed by a visit to the spectacular Huahuas Abyss. Both tours accommodate various fitness levels and dietary restrictions, making them accessible to most travelers.
