    This was a stop that was included on our tour around Los Cabos. It is one of those places where…read morethey take tourists hoping they will buy something. However, it was still interesting to hear about how the company started and you receive a demonstration from the workers. Behind a protective glass wall, you can watch as they heat things up in the furnace. In the back is a gift shop full of various vases, sculptures and cups they have made for sale. It would have been more impressive if I had not already been to a huge glass blowing factory in New York. This place is very small actually and is just the size of a small auto mechanic's garage.

    WOW! My first time ever seeing handmade glass blown live, and damn was it an incredible…read moreexperience!!! These glassblowers are so friggin' talented! I wouldn't dare even attempt to blow glass because Lord knows that I would end up burnt to a crisp. But, these guys are perfecters of their craft. We stopped here on our tour to check out the handmade glass items and to see the live glassblowing demonstrations. The glassblowers heat the glass up in a furnace to as high as 2,400 degrees Fahrenheit! At this point, the glass appears to be a bright orange and looks as if it's almost on fire (which it essentially is). They let it cool down to between 1,800-2,000F which is considered a "workable" temperature. They then began rolling, molding, and cutting pieces of the glass and added other molten glass to the pieces as needed. When we arrived, they were creating a drunken Mexican turtle! The cutest thing EVER! The turtle had on a hat and was drinking a corona. Classic, right?! We watched as the glassblowers took us through each step. Our tour guide was really helpful in explaining the process of what was going on and it made it easy for us to follow along. There's a glass shop in the room right next to the factory that has all kinds of colorful blown glass for sale! It's so much cheaper to buy the glass here versus in the stores nearby. Plus, you get to watch them make it from scratch! They also make custom glass orders here. It's a win-win situation for sure! I'm stoked that I got to see the glass being made live! This was one of the highlights of my Los Cabos trip! Totally worth a visit while in Los Cabos!
