Guadalajara

Guadalajara, Guadalajaraaaa…a name nearly synonymous with mariachi and tequila, has echoed across Mexico for over 500 years. Set into the Altemajac Valley in Mexico’s western state of Jalisco at an altitude of 5,000 feet, Guadalajara and its surroundings provide a vivid mixture of colonial era architecture, modern comforts, history, and cosmopolitan flair.

Officially established in 1542 by the Spanish, and named after a city in Spain of the same name, Guadalajara offers visitors from across the globe an enchanting vacation getaway in the heart of Mexico. Known over time as “The Pearl of the West”, la “Perla Tapatia”, and even the “City of Roses”, Guadalajara’s historic charm seamlessly blends with the hip, vibrant energy of the larger metropolitan area.

From the iconic Guadalajara Cathedral in the city’s historic downtown to the ornate decor of Teatro Degollado, and the UNESCO recognized Hospicio Cabañas cultural center and museum, Guadalajara’s breathtaking architecture and murals delight history and culture buffs alike. Sports enthusiasts can readily take in a soccer game of the iconic Chivas club, or enjoy the thrills of a dramatic lucha libra match. Foodies visiting Guadalajara must be sure to indulge in the region’s renowned dishes of “torta ahogada” or goat birria.

Surrounding Guadalajara are a wealth of unique neighborhoods to explore. Visitors can stroll through the cobblestone streets and galleries of Tlaquepaque, visit the wide avenues and historic mansions of Colonia Americana (voted one of the coolest neighborhoods in the world), or venture to the highly recognized Basilica in Zapopan. Plus, Tequila, the birthplace of Mexico’s most popular libation, is less than an hour away.

Whether visiting the area for history, culture, work, or relaxation, Guadalajara promises an unforgettable getaway for families and travelers of all ages.
