As close as you can come to beautiful sea turtles. Amazing sanctuary, clean and orderly. Definitely worth the visit

I do hold a love hate for this place as I don't like the animals in captivity, however the education opportunities and efforts are undeniable. On national holidays you can see talks to hundreds of keen children and adults all learning about turtles. Also don't miss the boat ride in the lagoon. Lots of birds, crocs and other wildlife and well worth the visit.

The mangrove tour was amazing! The large variety of wildlife we saw was so impressive! They are doing such important work with the sea turtles! This visit was the highlight of my Mexico trip!

This place was amazing. I got to hold a 1 hour old turtle. The tour guide was great and we all had a wonderful time.

Place is great, great views with boat ride, nice friendly staff.

It's way out of the way, bit our friends wanted to see turtles, so we went. Entrance fee is reasonable and they have loads of turtles, crocodiles and reptiles....I am no zoologist, but found it a bit sad to see the turtles swimming in dilapidated pools without areas to climb out of the water... It was stunning to see them though and some were very large...

Very clean place for the turtles and iguanas. Tha boat ride was amazing. We saw lots of birds, some alligators, some boa constrictors in the trees. The guide tried very hard to let us get close to take some good pictures.

Great place with nice weather and colorful surroundings.

Lovely place of worship

I visit this place on vacation such a beautiful place

Really like the church but finding parking it's another a big history specially early morning

Beautiful, great memories from more than 60 years ago . unforgettable..this is the day to visit colima s cathedral.

Nice architecture

Beautiful. Peaceful. The people are so kind and friendly. Love it!!

What an amazing experience and fantastic guide. We messaged relatively last minute and they accommodated my partner and I got an evening bird tour and it was amazing! Not only did I get to see the bird I set out to find, but I was asked if there was other birds I was looking to find and given directions for places easy to find on my own that I could find them! 10/10 would recommended and I would/will do more tours with them in the future if I’m in the area.

The volcano tour was great! Jupiter is very knowledgeable and brings you to small local spots you’d never see as a lone traveler. Also knows a lot about birds!!

We had a volcano and coffee tour this morning. It was awesome! We learned so much about coffee making and had some delicious breakfast at a local coffee grower/roaster's with a great view of the volcano.

(Translated by Google) Excellent treatment. They are very friendly and punctual, in addition to explaining each point and giving you the opportunity to take very good photos. (Original) Excelente trato. Son muy amables y puntuales, además de que te van explicando cada punto y te dan la oportunidad de tomar muy buenas fotos

(Translated by Google) Highly recommended. A fantastic experience (Original) Muy recomendable. Una experiencia fantástica

An amazing trekking experience with a great view at the peak. Suitable for beginners.

I was there on June 2022, is a beautiful hike, be prepare for the lack of oxygen, even if you have trained the shortness of breath will get you. The day we went up it was very foggy and windy, very cold as well and this was during Summer I can imagine how cold is during Winter. I recommend 100 percent, use caution as you drive up, the road is very narrow, and most of all respect the flora and fauna for future generations.

Beautiful hike! Sunrise was amazing up there!

Visited in-laws in Tapalpa, observed Colima smoking from a distance. Traveled around the Tapalpa and Colina; had one of the best vacations of my life.

The ride up makes you see the different vegetation zones. Go on week days if you don't like crowds

Lovely place to visit and explore the wonderful breathing nature that involves.. Mesmerizing experiences

Camping hiking biking walking

The road to the trailhead was a little rough, but if you go slow, you will be fine. I did it in a regular 4-door sedan without any problems. The hike down took about 30 minutes. The hike back up took about an hour. Tapalpa is at 6,400 ft (1,950 m), so the altitude might affect you. Reportedly, it is 750 ft (229 m) down to the falls. It's worth the effort. If you are in Tapalpa, you should do it.

I would rate this hike as an intermediate hike. Meaning going down is fairly simple, going back up is a slight challenge. There were people on the trail in various age groups and physical shape. Bring water a hat and good comfortable hiking or tennis shoes.

A beautiful place. If you get an opportunity to go, I warmly recommend. I went twice. First time I swam. Keep away from the waterfall. People have drowned, probably getting too close or under the waterfall. I kept as far as possible from the cascades where it was plenty deep. I paddled back and forth for about 5 minutes: it was most refreshing, I assure you, with lush green trees, a roaring fall, and a bright sun lighting up the trees and rocks on the other side. Always be cautious clambering over boulders in rivers. I went alone the first time, and no one was there, I was at the falls about 9am. Don't swim, don't chamber over boulders, keep safe!

Amazing and beautiful place. Magic in the air.

So tall!

(Translated by Google) Excellent place for hiking. Bring water and snacks since there is nothing nearby. Besides, there are few indications. The waterfalls are very beautiful and safe to reach. (Original) Excelente lugar para hacer senderismo. Lleven agua y snacks ya que no hay nada cerca. Ademas de que hay pocas indicaciones. Las cascadas son muy bellas y seguras para llegar

(Translated by Google) Incredible!! Use sunscreen, a hat and water to stay hydrated along the way. At a good pace they go down in approximately 1 hour. They charge $50 for parking and at the top they sell snacks, it is advisable to go down with the best possible weight, just water and that's it. (Original) Increíble!! Usen protector solar, gorra y agua para hidratarse durante el camino. A buen paso bajan en 1 hora aprox. Cobran $50 por el estacionamiento y en la parte de arriba venden snack, lo recomendable es bajar con el mejor peso posible, solo agua y ya.

Delicious Cajeta. Prices quite high, but it’s worth it. Service ok.

My mom told me a story of when i was very little. We used to be neighbors with the cajeta company in the 80s. When the wood boxes for cajeta were put to dry on the roof they would sometimes blow over into our yard I would collect them and take them over for a sweet reward. It is still my favorite to this day. Every time my mom visits family in Mexico she brings me a jar. This is the best in the world.

Delicious cajeta great customer service. The only bummer is you must make a appointment to see the factory.

I love hoy they have decorated the place and the design. All the staff is really nice. They offer you a free "Cajeta" as soon as you step in the door. Try their products you will love them

This is an excellent place for buying the traditional "cajeta" milk candy, in fact I would say that this is the best cajeta in all of Mexico. A 100% recommended.

I have had cajetas from here since I was a child this the only place my Mother would go to get them we would never go anywhere else.

Best cajeta i ever had i buy it everytime i visit close by, the staff is very friendly and have tasty samples for you to try

Beautiful area, worth the hike. The guy at the gate up top was a total jerk, he made the whole experience stressful. Didn't explain anything, just told us we couldn't enter. It's like the community forces people to go on a horseback tour if you want to enter.

Nice hike down a stone road lined with cabins. Downhill to get to the waterfall then back up to return. Your experience at the falls would likely depend on the amount of people that are also there. It is possible to climb behind the water.

Nice hike and falls, I do recommend visiting this part of Mexico in the rainy season because everything is green. Note they do charge an entrance fee (40 pesos per person) and if you want a ride (on their trucks) or horses that is separate. For the horses it was 125 pesos per hour. For the truck it was 40 pesos to go down and another 40 pesos to come back up

The walk is long with lots of up and down. The entry fee is 30 pesos, but consider paying an extra 20 per person for the ride down to the cascada - fountain. You will still have to earn quite a bit and down the side of a mountain to the actual falls. Same thing with horses, except that the horse ride is 250 pesos pet person. There are washrooms at the bottom before you go down to the falls but no water; so carry yours with you.

Walking instructions from Mazamitla: I'm writing this because if you're only looking on Google maps, it's legit confusing as to how you even get to the waterfall. You have to walk to where it shows Los Cazos on Google. There's a gate there into Los Cazos, as it's private residences/cabanas. On the lefthand side of the gate, there's a foot path and you walk along that, there's a small window to pay 30 pesos for entry. After that, the signs within Los Cazos are easy to follow to reach the waterfall. Note: pay close attention to the route. There are quite a few streets in the subdivision, and a lot of turns are kind of similar looking. So it's easy enough to find your way in, but on the way out I took a wrong turn. The hike is great from town. It wasn't what I expected, as the majority is walking along cobblestone streets vs. a forest path. However the cabanas in Los Cazos are great! All of them. They're pretty much full blown houses vs. cabanas, but each one is unique and is in a lovely setting. I went on a Wed morning in mid-February. I sat at the waterfall by myself for an hour. Secret: want an actual hike through the forest? At the bottom of the stairs of the waterfall, to the left, there's a path that goes along the river. You have to hop the fence. It's well worth it. It goes along the river for a little ways, then it climbs. And climbs. And climbs. But where it takes you is outstanding. You end up on a road, and at the top there are a bunch of other roads (that look like they haven't been used in years) and trails and a sign that said Bison Eco Park. I had no idea where to go from there, so I laid on a bed of pine needles in the forest for a bit and snacked and chilled, then went back to the bottom of the waterfall again. Was worth it. I have zero doubt that if I had followed the proper trail/road at the top that I would have popped out at a main road. But, I was fine with what I did and the route I took. When people say it's uphill on the way back... it's uphill on the way back. From the base of the waterfall to Centro Mazamitla, it's steadily uphill besides one small downhill part. Not difficult, but I was pooped by the end and chilled in the main square for a bit.

Beautiful place to drive with atv's beautiful scenery

To get best experience go in rainy season. If you walk get ready yourself however you can take Horse riding or take one of the vehicle

Beautiful Parroquia. The beauty of Mazamitla!

Beautiful well maintained place to walk, shop, and eat. The only down side is the amount of loud motos and four wheelers zooming by as it breaks up the serenity...But that is everywhere in the city.

Beautiful place to spend the weekend with your friends or family. There are plenty of local shops and restaurants nearby. The prices are good and the prices people are so lovely and friendly. Mexico is really a great country to visit only one thing that need to take care of is the environment. Come on many churches to worship God and when you are out you make a mess by leaving your bin on the ground.

Gorgeous area so much to see and eat

Beautiful place for the weekend lost of local shops and farmers market

Beautiful tranquil place

Very beautiful temple.

Upstairs are the food "restaurants", downstairs are a few vendors of fruits and knick-knack, all overpriced. Tasteless food (quesadillas con pollo had no chicken, and no flavor) is what I got here, although I could see a lot of happy customers. I guess our palates are very different.

Great place to get fruits and vegetables. Upstairs is the food court. We bought from two little restaurants and food was pretty good.

Delicious traditional food and lots of souvenirs

Awesome market where you can get all your fruits, veggies, and meats that you might need or want. The top level has amazing taco shops and other local foods as well

We love mercados good food AND reasonably priced... We had 1 breakfast and 1 lunch here.

Food upstairs was amazing, come to “Birrieria Don David”! I ate a ham torta and a orange and carrot juice!

Good food on your floor, inexpensive.

This place is marvelous. It's a very nice retreat, no electricity, no phone signal (actually you can get some at the bar), beautiful cabanas with fireplaces for the night. It makes it magical. When it's dark it gets a little scary, specially if you're outside. But that only adds to the whole experience. It's wonderful.

The rooms are clean and spacious, all the activities you can do there makes it a great place to spend the weekend

Went on an trip to check out the park fir future team building, and youth workshop.

No electricity. No Internet signal

(Translated by Google) It is a wonderful experience to go to Abba Park. To begin with, the people who serve you are very friendly. There is plenty of room to walk, explore, play. There are multi-purpose courts as well as zip lines, horseback riding, climbing wall, avalanches for children, 1 suspension bridge, play area with trampoline for children. The cabins are like new, clean and the beds are super comfortable, it doesn't get very cold at night at all. They have their terrace area with a grill and sink, which makes grilling meats much easier. The best thing is all the stars you can see at night and there is no hustle and bustle at all. There is a restaurant where they serve you very delicious homemade food. The cost is not high for everything you get and how much fun you have. The road to get there after the town is a bit hilly, so I would recommend taking a high vehicle to pass without a slope. We will definitely return. (Original) Es una experiencia maravillosa ir a Abba Park. Para empezar las personas que te atienden son muy amables. Hay lugar de sobra para caminar, explorar, jugar. Hay canchas de usos múltiples así como tirolesas, paseos a caballo, muro de escalar, avalanchas para los niños, 1 puente colgante, área de juegos con cama elástica para los niños. Las cabañas están como nuevas, limpias y las camas super cómodas, para nada entra mucho frío por las noches. Tienen su área de terraza con asador y fregadero, lo cual facilita mucho las carnes asadas. Lo mejor son todas las estrellas que puedes ver por la noche y que no hay bullicio de nada. Hay un restaurante donde te sirven comida casera muy rica. El costo no se me hace elevado por todo lo que obtienes y por lo bien que la pasas. El camino para llegar después del pueblo es un poco accidentado, así que yo si recomendaría llevar un vehículo alto para pasar sin pendiente. Sin duda vamos a regresar.

(Translated by Google) Abbá is a unique and highly recommended place. The service and food are incredible! The activities, the spots inside the park, and everything else are amazing! One of my favorite places in Mexico ♥️ (Original) Abbá es un lugar único y súper recomendable. La atención y la comida es increíble! Las actividades, los spots dentro del parque y todo lo que abarca, están súper! De mis lugares favoritos en México ♥️

(Translated by Google) The service was wonderful. Despite being marketed as Catholic, the camp never became religious. The access is very bumpy. It was very difficult to get a car through; a low vehicle couldn't fit, no joke. A zip line wasn't working; I would have liked to have ridden it. Some things in the cabins need maintenance. Overall, everything was nice except for the access. (Original) El servicio de maravilla, a pesar de que se vende como católico en ningún momento se puso religioso el campamento El acceso es muy accidentado, el coche pasó con mucha dificultad, un vehiculo bajo no entra no de chiste, no funcionaba una tirolesa me habría gustado subirme, les falta mantenimiento algunas cosas en las cabañas En general todo lindo salvo el acceso

During the rainy season this place blossoms, so many bushy trees, palm trees, complete playground for kids and beautiful views of Lake Chapala 🌴

Great place for a walk or a date. Super chill and Romantic. Kids playing people enjoying eachothers company a walk by the Lake Chapala. Best if you go between 4-8 pm the sun set is great.

Easily the nicest Malecon on the Lake Shore Stretching for about a third of a mile on Lake Chapala's western end, Malecón de Jocotepec is home to a great many vendors of food, souveniers, and knick knacks. The adjacent grove has been utilized as a playground and picnic area, complete with bbq pits and picnic tables, while boat rides are available at the pier. Ample parking is also available. If you're going to spend an afternoon by the lake, this is the place to do it.

It is well-planned, and well-designed. It was lovely to find so much parking. If you need to use the bathroom, it costs 5 pesos. Very clean bathrooms. There is a lot of Flora and fauna. Beautiful scenery and lots of little places to have snacks and drinks. Must see! One more thing there is a small, handmade sign that says "malecon". Don't miss the sign.

Great place for a Day Of Fun and relaxation . Nice picnic areas..

It was great for the time of the day before I went there i thought it wasn't going to be THAT good for a quick day They had FREE parking and there were plenty of vendors selling drinks and food.

Beautiful walkway, dog friendly, gorgeous views, wonderful public art and easy, accessible parking.

La isla es muy pequeña. La recorres fácilmente en 10 minutos, si venden comida pero llevas el tiempo contado porque la lancha solamente te espera como 30 minutos. Very small but a nice island you can easily walk all around within 10 minutes, there is food to buy there but not enough time because they only give you like 30 minutes before charging more money to wait for you to take you back to town.

It is fun to explore with someone you can have fun with. I got to see and hold a baby monkey, and that just absolutely made my life!! Only iffy thing was a guy with a parrot asking if he could hold my purse so I could take a picture with his parrot. The Ceviche de pescado at the 1st restaurant when you get off the boat, was amazing! And the view was incredible

A fun out of the way place to visit. Avoid the help from kids getting out of the boat. They will be aggressive for tips.

Just go! Grab a boat and for an hour support the locals. It's a lovely get away and the view and history is wonderful

Great place for family fun Chapala 15 min boat ride I would recommend staying on the island for an hour. half hour is not long enough

Small little island in the middle of Lago de Chapala. There are little boats that can ferry you out. Not too much to see or do on the island, but you can get some food and drinks.

Definitely a good experience, highly recommend going for lunch on this island.

Husband and I just had a massage from David and Martha. We did the full body massages for $850.00 pesos. It was amazing. They came to us which was also a plus! I would recommend them and definitely use their srvices again! Thanks again for the professionalism and the prompt response when booking.

I had an incredible experience getting massaged here! Not only did he do an excellent massage with scented oils, but he did some other kind of reiki healing and I felt amazing for two days afterward. He also has a special back cracking maneuver that is incredible. Truly excellent massage! Well worth the price! Go here!

Best massages ever by David.

Not only are they great at the art of Massage but very knowledgeable about total body physics.

Instant service, average massage, really high price.

(Translated by Google) Excellent service and response time. They have service from Monday to Wednesday in Guadalajara and on the weekend they serve in Chapala. Super recommended David, very good massage!!! (Original) Excelente servicio y tiempo de respuesta. Tienen servicio de lunes a miércoles en Guadalajara y el fin de semana atienden en Chapala. Súper recomendado David muy buen masaje!!!

(Translated by Google) Excellent service, every time I am in Ajijic I will assist me Either to the boardwalk or to your cabin (Original) Excelente servicio, cada que estiy en ajijic voy a atenderme Ya sea al malecón o a su cabina

Beautiful malecon but there was graffiti on the light house. Such a shame. The street market and beautiful statues and architecture were lovely. We had a nice couple of hours here.

Amazing place. Very clean streets. Good people. Very good place to relax. Beautiful lake.

My wife and I had a wonderful day lunch and some shopping. Definitely. A place to visit when you're in Jalisco. If you haven't been here, I will recommend adding it to your list. We were here for the day of the dead.

GREAT PLACE TO VISIT WITH THE FAMILY, FOOD IS GOOD, TAKE IN MIND WEEKENDS ARE SO CROWDED, IN TRAFFIC TO HEAVY, AND HARD TO GET FREE PARKING

Lovely place for a nice walk along the Lake Chapals

Beautiful place visted scorpion island took the boat and it there, people is amazing

Beautiful place to visit with your family, and friends, or by yourself.

Open from 8am to 5pm 7 days a week. It's ok, the place is really pretty. They take credit cards, serve omellets for breakfast at a very good price. The restaurant doesn't open until 10am, it takes 20 minutes to get your food. You can bring your own food or order food and get it delivered. Beware, though, you will be charged $90 pesos as a re- entrance fee to go outside and get the food at the entrance.They have no ice, no fountain drinks, and no cold drinks. They sell an 11 lb bag of ice. The bathrooms are clean, but there are no paper towels to dry your hands with. They were doing maintenance during the whole time we were there, which was 8am to 5pm. They were using a chainsaw to take down a bunch of trees ning so it was noisy.

Great place to enjoy with family, bring some meat and bbq have fun.

This was a great place to spend with family. We were able to cookout as they have grills on property . The showers and bathrooms were very well kept,Very clean. We will definitely go back when we are on vacation.

The place was crean eventos there were a lot of people there and the atractions were also fine

Super cute! Unfortunately, not all the water slides were open

One of the best water parks to go to!!! Very fun and so much to do! Aside from water attractions there is zip lining, obstacle courses, airsoft, go carts. So much to do in one park!

Awesome park with family/or amigos. Pretty big spacious park with themes, pretty awesome water slides and low pool with waves. Across are some picnic tables under shade, so if you go bring food, even meat to grill. Just take into account these are natural warm springs areas so the water is slightly warm, not so refreshing but still feels good to cool off a bit. The water slides bit rough but that’s common water slides. Various sizes, and steepness. There’s a store for basic food items and dressing rooms in case you didn’t wear bathing suit upon arrival with showers for afterwards. Just make sure you don’t wait till last minute cause of the long lines!! Overall, satisfied with my experience since there’s ramps and pretty easy to move around with my minor mobility issues. I think most expensive out of water parks here, but with most diverse attractions and space. They close at 6 and turn off water almost immediately. It was nice to return after my childhood memories

Place is amazing. There is a secret tour that shows you some alien faces and non-replica pieces carved into stone you got to figure it out though. Hot weather and worth to try the guided tour. Very pleasant and magical place.

Such an amazing site! The highlight of my trip to Mexico! It is the rainy season so everything is lush and green. Fascinating history and palpable energy. Reasonable drive from Guadalajara. My guide was fantastic! Be sure to look for obsidian pieces from the nearby volcano. Highly recommended!

Just visited the incredible Guachimontones archaeological site near Teuchitlán, Jalisco! These circular pyramids are unlike anything else in Mexico and a truly amazing sight to behold, sitting at the base of the majestic Tequila volcano. It's wild to think that the people who built this place lived here long before the lifetime of Jesus Christ. Highly recommend this for any history or architecture lover! #Guachimontones #Jalisco #Archaeology #Mexico #TequilaVolcano #AncientHistory

This site was amazing. Get a guide who knows the area to take you on a tour. You have to arrange this ahead of time but if you ask enough people you'll be able to find someone. Our guide worked in excavation at the site for 20+ years so he knew what made it special and he shared culturally significant information. The museum was good but we definitely got to see the inside works by having a guide. Tip: if you're not in decent shape, or if you're traveling with young children or older adults, ask at the museum about getting a ride to the site. It's not a long walk but it's very steep, there's no shade, and nowhere to sit down.

Very Interesting, our tour person Chava was awesome, very knowledgeable. The video presentation and the museum explanation was very well explained a great place to visit

Arrived Saturday at 4pm and it was plenty of time to explore. $30MX per adult. There are very clean bathroom facilities by the parking and an air conditioned museum that presents a 15 minute documentary. Highly recommend to go in the museum before walking to the pyramids. There is a 15 minute incline walk up to the pyramids, be warned. Wear comfortable shoes and depending on the time of day it can get really hot. It was very interesting and it deserves a visit.

What an amazing place. I was not aware of round pyramids until now! Get a guide and plan on 3 hours. PLUS, as seniors, we did not pay admission. Highly recommend.

Beautiful beautiful place! The architecture is amazing and the church is just breathtaking! I definitely recommend just coming and sitting down and enjoying the amazing calm vibes.

Beautiful church, open and quite. I always think.church should be open to every one, and this is. Offer great arts and historical construction as well. Many Mexicanas are getting married every weekends as well, and local markets are being held at night. Valuable place for Guadalajara. I personally liked it better than the one in Firenze in terms of the functionality as.a church.

Such a beautiful church. Do yourself a favor and assure you come here. If you can talk your way into the catacombs downstairs too, it will make an experience you won't soon forget. If you can't, I've added lots of photos. There is a small show outside when the hours turn. Make time to peruse the surrounding areas. It is good manners to assure you leave a donation before you depart.

Another example of amazing architecture. Take some time to visit and maybe sit inside for a bit to experience the peaceful vibes.

Beautiful church. Photos speak for themselves. Definitely a must see if in the area.

A truly incredible church inside and out. A place worth of an epic battle between Batman & the Joker.

This church is very beautiful and architecture is stunning, from outside its incredible and going inside it just mesmerizing. Each hour there are figurines coming out from one of the towers and doing its own thing, so fun to watch and notice it. Every detail is just incredibly stunning

An amalgamation of architectural styles with much history relative to most buildings in the Americas. The icons in the cathedral are sometimes more bloody in depiction than other churches I have visited. Greater emphasis on Mary in churches and cathedrals here, congruent with the attempt to overlay pagan deities with saints and Holy Mothers. There is another separate church attached. This part of the city is very walkable and Guadalajara’s devotion to the arts is admirable

Catedral Basílica de la Asunción de María Santísima remains central to Guadalajara where it has stood since the 17th century. Still architecturally stunning despite fires, age and earthquakes the capitol's center of worship is a must-see from the detailed pulpit to crypts below. Home to the relics of St. Innocent, expect large crowds during times of worship.

It's a large and imposing building that I wouldn't exactly call beautiful. The architecture seems eclectic, and the towers seem out of place withe rest of the building there are quite a few beggars and questionable characters hanging out in front of the church. Other than that, a nice edifice, just not the nicest.

Went on a Saturday morning. Inside amazing architecture and prolific art. Took pictures with local photographer vendor outside to catch professional photographs. He knew where to stand and get the best angles.

A beautiful place to visit in the middle of guadalajara. The Basilica is mesmerizing and the vibe of the place is calming and very chill must visit

Must see while visiting Guadalajara. Nice square beautiful church and lots of carriage rides around also tour buses leave from the square.

This is a symbol of Guadalajara, so if you want to take photos, it's best to come early in the morning📷

The teatro Degollado is a mid-19 century jewel built in 1856-1866. It has gone through many renovation throughout the century. It was originally called teatro Alarcón, in honor of the classical playwright Juan Ruiz de Alarcón. After the Reform wars(1857-1861) the governor Pedro Ogazon changed the name to Santos Degollado,former governor and general who died in battle in 1861. Most of the renovations of the theater were done to improve the interior design and reinforce the roof of the building. Between 1953-1959 artist Roberto Montenegro designed and crafted the mosaic of Apollo and the Nine Muses on the theaters pediment. 16 Corinthian columns support the pediment. The theater is now home of the Jalisco Philharmonic and the place of high artistic performances. Book your private tours of Guadalajara with me! And let’s explore Guadalajara together!

I didn’t went in, but the location is beautiful and that building is breathtaking from the outside! That’s definitely somewhere/an area I’d like to spend more time in. It felt very secure, and it’s located in the middle of the city.

Lovely to watch mariachi play with Jalisco Symphany Orchestra. Looked full on Saturday night. Such a beautiful old theater. Staff was helpful & attentive.

This place is well worth the price of admission and more, will definitely be coming more often. The center of the bowl seems to have the best views of the entire orchestra except maybe the front floor seats.

Stunning! We were able to go inside on a Tuesday when there wasn’t a show going on. It was magical to sit inside and take in the beauty of the space. We could also hear someone practicing for opera backstage. Wow

Amazing experience loved every minute of it brought tears to my eyes

A beautiful piece of architecture and art in GDL, a true jewel. This is a neoclassical theater located in the plaza center, stunning! This is most definitely a must visit while visiting or living in GDL! A 19th century architectural masterpiece, opened in 1866. 👍👍

A mixed bag. Tickets are affordable and available, there is hardly a line to enter the place. The interior houses a few photo galleries, with rotating expositions, and not much else. The central building with it's high vaulted ceilings and frescoes is the main attraction. It is peaceful though and at times you will find yourself alone in this huge complex.

Return visit a decade plus later and the Orozco murals still impress. Beautiful location and peaceful hideaway from the bustling crowds. Bonus: Tuesday entry was free so you can donate more to charity

Really dont like rating so low but besides the history of the building there are few unimpressive exhibits. Orozco murals are good, if cost was lower perhaps 2 stars. Didn't understand massive historical building, nice courtyards, yet so little to see for 110 pesos. Was a large group of important people back of building closed off didnt help the experience.

A must visit place in Guadalajara. With it's long history as an hospice and culture space this colonial jem helds different contemporary art exhibitions and one of the mos extraordinary murales in México. You could easily spend 2 or 3 hours walking around the different galleries. A visit to the museum store is also recommended.

Worth visiting. They even allow you to lie down on the chair and watch the magnificent drawings. Most freely enjoyable museum i have ever been

At the Hospicio Cabañas in Guadalajara, which is very beautiful, and of course the murals are the highlight of the place. In addition, there is a person who narrates in detail the history and meaning of the murals.

Brought family here for the tour which they offer in Spanish and English. Vladimir was our guide and did an amazing job. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful experience!! We arrive around 4 pm only to ride a horse! And it was like a dream 😻 The park is really big and beautiful 💚 FREE ENTRANCE!

Wonderful to see the city support such an extensive park. It’s open to the public and features several gardens (arboretum, Japanese, desert, eucalyptus, pond). Several places to picnic, exercise, or relax.

This is a really beautiful park in the middle of the city and in the middle of a nice and safe neighborhood. I got there in public transportation, is not that difficult to get there and is definitely worth it. Is not that big but you can definitely spend a nice afternoon in this place full of squirrels!!! And the entrance is free :)

Very impressed, did not expect the scenery. Be prepared to walk, there are many squirrels so be careful and cautious. The park is free, paid parking and also paid tours available.

Free to enter - pay a fee if you park your vehicle here. The park is so lovely and peaceful. We got there early on a Sunday morning and the vibes were great. Everyone seems to be in a relaxed and kind mood. The animals here are accustomed to people, the squirrels are used to being fed because they run right up to people. It is a nice break from the noisy and chaotic city. I would recommend checking this park out.

One of the best parks I have ever been too. The layout and design of the complex routes that you can take is amazing for running an/or meditating and just enjoying your time there. The park has so many places to explore and find and you can find people dancing, practicing kickboxing, doing yoga, meditating etc... great place overall.

Precious place. This is a green lung in the middle of Guadalajara city. Very well maintained and safe. The Japanese garden is beautiful and there is plenty to see here. If you are looking for a place to spend the day walking and admiring nature, THIS IS THE WAY.

This place is huge. Nicely kept. It has a nice aquarium, a sky lift, and a vet center. Lions. Tiger. Elephants. Penguins. Hippos. Rhinos. And the restrooms are clean.🙂 My only negative is that the Raspado stands were closed. 😓

One of the best zoo’s I have visited so far, after USA, Canada and India. So many variety of animals and birds. Definitely a must see when you are in Guadalajara.

It was a very enjoyable experience. Definitely need to have great walking shoes and cash since the majority of the vendors if not all only take cash. Lots of activities for the littles.

I Loved it. Highly recommend. Very educational. Prices are very affordable. The zoo is very complete, it has nimal interactions, an aquarium, and so much more!!!

Best zoo ever! It has a safari experience, a lifting chair and train ride that takes you around the zoo. I loved that it's very clean and has beautiful scenery everywhere you look. If you miss the hours to feed the bigger animals, you can go to the deers section and feed those instead. They are not encaptured and roaming wildly free. This zoo also has a farm area, where you can see, feed, brush, and pet horses and goats. It is a very big zoo, so plan on spending the whole day there, especially if you are walking through it all. I enjoyed that we went on a weekday avoiding the busy crowds. I was very impressed and my child loved it too! We can't wait to go back!

Zoo was big and pretty the ride that takes you above the animals was really cool and so was the safari ride! If you love animals you should really check it out

Beautiful place, many different animals, the activities are very cool. The only bad thing it's that the food is expensive
