PV - Rio Bendito Fiesta / Tequila

[WAvoyager]

Princess has an excursion which includes a stop at the Rio Bendito Fiesta.   Half of the excursion (mining museum) doesn’t sound like any fun for my family (and is poorly reviewed on Princess’s site).  But the visit to the Rio Bendito Fiesta sounds great.  
 

I’ve been trying to find any information on this portion of the excursion, to see if I could arrange to just visit that, but there’s little to no info that I can find.   It seems to be the same location as the “Rio Bendito Tequila” distillery, but that’s just based on pics I’ve seen.

 

wondering if anyone is familiar with this location?  It’s interesting for us because they indicate it’s a visit to a more local county fair type activity - with games, food, and tequila tastings.  I’m hoping there’s enough to make it fun for our 5yo, in addition to mom and dad.  🙂

Has anybody been to / heard about this location?  Any tips would be appreciated!

In light of the lack of response to your posts, I've decided to do the Tequila Tasting, Mayahuel Show instead. I think the show is closed to the public on our day in PV, so it can be done only through the ship and not independently.  

 

I hope you do a report on the Rio Bendito excursion if you go, including how you traveled if you do it independently.

 

There is on YouTube a slideshow of the San Bendito Tequila Factory tour with annoying transitions.  It did not have any shots of the Fiesta, which was my interest.  

 

Enjoy!!

Hope you have a great visit Mike.  We’ll be there in April, so still a couple of weeks to try to figure it out.  It is troubling that there’s so little info out there though.

 

I found a YouTube video which showed them making incredible looking churros and nothing else!  The search for info continues.

It is amazing how little info there is!  

 

Here is the YouTube I found, if I am allowed to post it:

They also have a Facebook business page - 450 likes, and some pics posted, but no updates recently. 
 

the transitions on that video are pretty…. Repetitive

How was the tour?

As I posted above, I booked the Mayahuel show instead.  I posted a review, it was amazing.  As a Vegas resident, I am used to great shows and I recommend the Mayahuel show.

 

i haven’t seen any further info on the Rio Benito fiesta.

My daughter and I got sick on board our Mexico cruise last year, and stayed in our cabin during this port.

 

headed back in a couple of months, so we might try for this again.

Sorry to hear you were sick!
