Tequila Volcano and the ash that was in the atmosphere drifted over 11 states with a total number of 57 casualties, however; when the Tequila Volcano erupted, there were no casualties. The Tequila Volcano does not pose a threat to surrounding communities. Being inactive for around 220,000 years it is now covered in vegetation and is easy to access. Visitors can drive to the volcano's crater without any concerns for safety. The Volcano has contributed greatly towards an agave culture where Mexico relies on the rich soils that the volcano created to cultivate blue agave and create the beverage Tequila and Mescal.
