Field of blue agave near Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico May 5, 2026

In the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, rows of blue agave stretch across the landscape, their spiky leaves catching the light like a field of sculpted stars. This region, centred around the town of Tequila, is the birthplace of tequila, a spirit deeply tied to both land and tradition.
