Itinerary
We will meet at 11:00 at the meeting point described in Guadalajara to leave in our transport (already included) to the municipality of Chapala. Starting the tour we will make a quick stop at Vicente Fernandez's ranch and the famous Vicente Fernández store "Los Tres Potrillos". It should be noted that entry to the ranch is free and subject to the owner's will, so we cannot guarantee entry.
Later we will visit a tequila distiller known as ¨LOS MAGOS¨ where we will give them a tour within it, they will learn in detail how is the process of making Tequila in an artisanal way, and of course we will take several tastings of tequila and liquors of the home.
After having tasted some good tequilas we headed towards the Rivera de Chapala, where around 2:00 p.m. we arrived at the Municipality of San Juan Cosalá, here we visited the best seafood restaurant in the area, ¨MARISCOS DEL CARNAL¨, with super affordable prices and we will also give you a courtesy drink so you can enjoy your boat ride inside the largest lake in Mexico!
From there we go straight to the ride on our catamarans, which are super safe and have all the security measures, as well as music and the necessary atmosphere to navigate within the largest lake in Mexico, I assure you you will be surprised by its size !! ! We will give you a complimentary drink.
After having enjoyed a delicious meal and having toured the largest Lake in Mexico, we moved to the Magic Town of Ajijic, named a magical town only in 2020, where they will have free time so that they can visit the center of town, its beautiful cobbled streets, its colorful houses, which are a magnet for lovers of photography and its extensive boardwalk. A town which is a destination for many international visitors and a key retirement point for many older people, this is why the Magical Town of Ajijic has many inhabitants from abroad who have decided to make Ajijic their home.
Finally we arrive at the town of Chapala, undoubtedly the most representative of the region, because it is the Municipal head and the most recognized, here they will have free time so that you can visit its entire boardwalk, its two piers, enjoy the rite of the flyers or as they are commonly known ¨Voladores de Papantla¨. You cannot leave this place without first trying some delicious charales or a carafe snow, which are very typical of the region. Right here you can find many options to buy gifts, souvenirs, postcards, etc., since the prices in Chapala are more than accessible.
The experience focuses on visiting the Rivera de Chapala and Lake Chapala.

The tequila tasting was held in a run down property. That place needs to be cleaned up. I recommend paying a little more for a better quality tequila tasting.
Had a great time. For once a tour didn’t start super early. I will say bring some pesos with you Forsure. There were lots of fun little knick knacks to pick up. We were out until 7:30pm which was my fault I was late to get back to the bus at the end. I will say I was mystified by the lake towards the end though. The floating plants and the life just felt like a whole other world. Had a great time! Gracias Javi!
It was a good experience, the city is pretty, but it is a quieter walk. The guide was always trying to make us laugh, making jokes to entertain us all the time.
Excellent tour, the travel companions were very kind and the guide was very professional; the sites visited were very beautiful, truly recommended.
Good option when you want some variety. The overall experience was good. The best part was visiting the 2 towns. Charming and fun. Expect the trip to be a bit bumpy as the roads are not great. The food at the restaurant they took us was ok but definitely an area to improve.
The best experience of my trip to Mexico. Unforgettable.
Full day tour with a lot of different stops. The guides and the hospitality were great. Highly recommend.
The tour itself went exactly as planned, and described. Was very happy with the transportation, the activities, the driver, and the guide. Our group was especially fun, and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone.
Javier , his assistant and the driver were great, I highly suggest this trip. I suggest you have breakfast before going, very important.
Ranch stop & store stop was a little long, but good deal on a cowboy hat. Enjoyed the samples at distillery. Lunch was beautiful on the lake and enjoyed the very short boat ride- wish it could have been about an hour. The towns were both beautiful, but note you’re left on own to explore and shop. We enjoyed the long day.
