Ajijic and Area: Things To Do
Lakeside
Generally comprised of Chapala, Ajijic. San Juan Cosalá and Jocotepec, Lakeside is a popular destination for expats from Canada and the US. Offering markets, shops, entertainment and more than 100 restaurants, the towns are closely situated, with many opportunities to socialize or just enjoy the mountain and lakeside scenery. You'll feel at home with the extensive use of English, and the warmth of the Mexican people. Lakeside is a place where people come, not to vacation, but to live.
Guadalajara is the second-largest city in Mexico, with a population of more than 6-million. It's a cultural and historical mecca, lying just an hour to the north, with the international airport only 45 minutes away. We love to book a hotel for a few nights, and then use Uber to explore the city.

Excursions
There are many fabulous destinations a short drive from Lakeside. To mention only a few, there's the town of Tequila with its many distilleries, the historic city of Morelia, and the beaches of Manzanillo, just a three hour drive away. There's no shortage of places to explore while you're here!
