Wrap up your tour by savoring a delicious local lunch at a charming restaurant with breathtaking lake views. Unlike standard tours, we provide private transportation exclusively for your group and a dedicated English-speaking guide with over 7 years of experience—ensuring a flexible experience tailored to your pace and preferences. ITINERARY: Located en route to Chapala, El Chololo Restaurant proudly boasts over a century of birria-making tradition. Here, you’ll savor the flavors that earned them a feature on Netflix’s Taco Chronicles. Choose between their melt-in-your-mouth goat or tender beef birria (this detour is optional). In Chapala, we’ll step back in time at the old train station, now a beautiful museum. Admire its breathtaking architecture while gaining a deeper understanding of the cultural tapestry woven by indigenous traditions, the railroad's impact, and the allure that continues to draw expats to this community. We’ll continue with a stroll along the picturesque malecon, taking in breathtaking views of Lake Chapala. Explore the local market, plaza and church, experiencing the peaceful rhythm of an authentic Mexican pueblo. We'll also get to taste local snacks while learning the most fascinating facts and stories about Mexico's largest lake. Next, we’ll take a 20-minute ride to Ajijic, where we’ll pass through La Floresta, a picturesque neighborhood on the town’s edge. You’ll be welcomed by majestic tree-lined streets and spacious homes that showcase the area’s distinctive character and lifestyle. Afterwards, we'll walk in Ajijic's cultural corridor and main square, a kaleidoscope of colorful storefronts brimming with artistic treasures.
