Heaven, Earth, Tequila

This is not about Todos Santos, but rather relates to Mexico. Check out Douglas Menuez’s wonderful photos in his slideshow at this address: Heaven, Earth, Tequila

(If you are accessing from Todos Santos, be aware that the slideshow will not be continuous due to the recent degradation of the speed of our internet access. It’s getting better but it cannot keep up with this slideshow display.)

Heaven, Earth, Tequila: Un Viaje al Corazón de México is a journey of discovery into the heart and soul of Mexico. What started as an exploration of the 9,000-year tradition of tequila fermentation paints a colorful tableau of the culture, pride and passion of Mexican people.

Over the past four years, award-winning photographer Douglas Menuez traveled through Jalisco state documenting the traditions from which tequila is born, from the history of the agave plant to how its most famous product became a symbol of Mexico.
