The facilities of this distillery are immense. To get to the distillery from Valladolid, you must take the road that goes to Tizimín, and at the Periférico, turn left.

There, you will find Mayapán. You will identify it by its beautiful yellow colonial house and the huge agave plantation that gives it an incredible view. The blue agave is the plant that makes this distillate so famous throughout Mexico and the world.

If you arrive by car, you can leave it in the parking lot while you make your tour.

This lasts approximately 40 minutes, depending on how long you want to stay in its huge souvenir shop or take photos of the agave plantation.

Mayapán Tour – Valladolid

On this tour of the distillery in Valladolid, the guides will explain the process of distilling agave. The house contains the structures and machinery that were used to produce this artisanal Mexican drink.

The tour prices are super accessible, and you will be able to try the different types of “Mayapán” that they perform.

The artisan process of agave distillation consists of several steps. The cultivation of the agave comes first; then they take it to masonry ovens that will “cook” the agave.

Later, the crushing process starts; the pineapple is broken into thin fibers. These fibers are placed in a masonry circle, where a stone wheel crushes them to extract the distilled water. The result is brought to the point of fermentation and distillation.

It is packed with great effort and care, ready to be sold.

As I was telling you, our friends from Mayapán have an agave plantation in front of the distillery’s facilities. It is a very beautiful and spectacular place. With thousands of blue agaves behind you and a sunset, you have all you need for your perfect photo.
