Casa Almendro Herradura

Tequila Herradura is a tequila distillery located in Amatitán, Jalisco, Mexico. It was formally founded in 1870 by Aurelio López and the business remained in the family for over 125 years. Today it is owned by US beverage maker Brown-Forman, but the tequila is still made in the same place and facilities under a Mexican subsidiary. Tequila products sold under the Herradura name are 100% agave. The company makes other tequila products, such as El Jimador, which is the best-selling tequila in Mexico, as well as New Mix, a tequila and grapefruit soda beverage. Since its acquisition by Brown-Forman, Herradura has had many promotional efforts in Mexico and the United States, including inviting artists to use tequila barrels as the bases for art pieces, which are then displayed and auctioned off for charity.

As WE explore this charming locality, YOU will be captivated by its natural beauty, picturesque beaches, and lush greenery. Herradura is home to some of the most stunning beaches in Costa Rica, including Playa Herradura and Playa Agujas, which provide the perfect backdrop for a relaxing day spent soaking up the sun and taking in the magnificent views.

Beyond the beaches, Herradura is also known for its abundance of wildlife. From monkeys swinging from the trees to vibrant tropical birds, there's no shortage of opportunities to spot exotic creatures while exploring the town. WE recommend taking a guided tour of the nearby Carara National Park, where you can witness a vast array of wildlife, including crocodiles, snakes, and even jaguars.
