Situated on the northern shore of Lake Chapala, Ajijic is one of Mexico's pueblo mágicos -- a special designation given to towns that offer natural beauty, preserved culture, and historical significance.
Ajijic is in many ways a getaway town: a weekend getaway for residents of Guadalajara seeking a break from the big city, and a seasonal getaway for Americans and Canadians seeking a break from extreme weather. As you enter the Chapala region, the highway signs boast el mejor clima, el mejor lugar.
Life in Ajijic is relaxed and peaceful. The cobblestone streets keep people and cars moving slowly, as there is no need to rush through the day. Walls painted one color are draped in bougainvilleas of another. Families and visitors hang in the town square late into the evening.
We love spending time in this little town and we know you will too!
