Billed as the biggest corn maze in Latin America, Mundo Maiz boasts 15 kilometers of paths winding through 22 acres of live corn. There are four different “trails” to choose from in this vast corn crop that, according to its creators, contains 2.4 million stalks of white corn.
The attraction includes family and food areas, as well as an extreme zone for those seeking a more intensive thrill (including a zip-line and a climbing wall).
Educational workshops are available on the different uses of corn and farming techniques.
Since its opening on October 17, the attraction has garnered positive reviews. Its owners say the corn stalks are still growing and will reach a final height of around two meters in a few weeks.
Special events are scheduled frequently, with a “zombie challenge” held on weekends from 6:30 p.m.
A special Star Wars event is planned on Friday, November 7, from 6 p.m., and on November 23, visitors are invited to enjoy the full moon and meteor shower.
Corn mazes are popular tourist attractions in the United States and Canada, and have become a means for farmers to create additional income.
Mundo Maiz is located at Prolongación Avenida 8 de Julio, 2.5 kilometers south of the Periferico, in Toluquilla, next to Fraccionamiento Paseos del Prado in the municipality of Tlaquepaque.
Open Tuesday to Thursday, 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; Friday to Sunday, 10:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Closed on Mondays.
