Approximate road distances. Check flights and bus schedules before you travel.

From Guadalajara Airport (GDL) it is about 35 km, roughly a 40-minute drive. Buses depart from downtown Guadalajara to Chapala and Ajijic.

How many days

One day, or two nights for those who want to rest on the lakeshore.

When to go

All year round, due to the mild climate. From November to May there is little rain; from June to September the rains make the landscape green.

The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.

Do you need a car?

It does not go to the village. To combine with Chapala and other lakeside villages, use local buses or a car.
