Itinerary
Santiago Matatlan
2 hoursAdmission Ticket Free45 kilometers east of the city of Oaxaca is located a small town called Matatlán that, due to the number of palenques, has been named "world capital of mezcal." Santiago Matatlán is a name derived from the Nahuatl words; Matlatl, which means network and Tlan which means place, so Matlatlan means "place near networks." The population depends economically on the production of mezcal and the cultivation process of the maguey mezcalero (Agave potatorium). This is where most of this liquor is made and in the short journey you can see fields and fields of agaves that grow for that purpose. In the town it is possible to visit family stills to see ancient techniques to make this traditional liquor where you can observe the production process, from the cooking of the maguey "pineapples" to their grinding, fermentation and distillation.Mezcal El Rey de Matatlán
