Santiago Matatlan
Masterclass and tasting of Mezcal. We will be able to appreciate agave fields and some wild agaves growing in the area, the manufacture of tradicional Mezcal with families from the town. We will be also able to understand the growing of the category and experience the life in a "palenque", which is the name as a distillery is known in Oaxaca. We will observe copper and clay pot distillation and then taste the mezcales obtained from both techniques from a wide variety of agaves. We will be visiting a Pulque farm and how this other beverage from agave is extracted.

We will be able to do some trekking, wild agave observation in its natural habitat and spent the rest of the day eating and tasting the local traditional food and Mezcal.
