THE ROUTE

Participants zip across a clearly marked driving zone in the Nichupté Lagoon, a calm waterway that lets riders feel the rush of speed while remaining within a confined, supervised area.

THE TASTE

A Seven-Tequila Masterclass

After the ride you’ll sit for a curated tequila tasting, sampling seven premium tequilas while learning the basics of production and tasting technique.
