TLAQUEPAQUE

If you’re visiting Guadalajara, you're likely to hear about one of Mexico’s most beloved little towns, right on the city's doorstep! Tlaquepaque is one of the nation's cherished "magic pueblos," recognized for its role in the country's independence, its charm, and a unique mix of antiquity and modernity. With a long history of fame as the home of artisans who have produced some of the finest craftsmanship Mexico has to offer, Tlaquepaque presents a storybook like backdrop to a seemingly endless selection of shops in which to browse. Local pride is on display everywhere, in abundant works of public art, and especially on weekends when street performances of traditional music and folkloric dancing are common. Our walking tours are the perfect introduction to a town that has played an outsized role in the country’s history. Between the airport and Guadalajara’s historic center, we are 25 minutes from both, so a visit makes for a perfect day trip.
