Laguna Chapala is a small town next to a lagoon where you can find beautiful Mexican colors and culture. Located at 1 hour from Guadalajara, is one of the “must” if you are visiting Jalisco. Next to it, you can find Ajijic, a place you’ll love to eat and walk. #mexico #guadalajara #jalisco #laguna #chapala #lagunachapala #ajijic #travelmexico #discovermexico #mexicoplaces #boats #tapatio

8.8/10 Excellent! (12 reviews)
We really liked the look of the house. Very Mexican and walkable to lots of shopping and restaurants. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was great to have. The upstairs rooftop was a great place to sit and enjoy the scenery. Beds were comfortable as well. Well furnished kitchen.
