Place and tradition

UNESCO’s World Heritage account connects blue-agave fields with the settlements of Tequila, Arenal and Amatitan in Jalisco. It describes a working landscape shaped by agave cultivation and the history of tequila production. The World Heritage site is a cultural landscape, not a complete map of every legally permitted tequila-producing area.
