Immerse yourself in the magic of Jalisco, a land of charm and traditions that hosts some of the most picturesque locations in Mexico. Its “magical towns” are a reflection of the rich cultural history, the natural beauty, and the warmth of its people.
Cocula
Known as the cradle of mariachi, Cocula is a place that vibrates to the sound of music. Here mariachi tradition is breathed on every corner, from its main square to its temples and cobbled streets. The city offers a calm and friendly environment, ideal for walking around, trying some local food, and amazing yourself with the local crafts. A must-visit spot is the Saint Michael Parish, an architectural jewel that rises as the heart of the town.
Tapalpa
Nested between pines and oaks, Tapalpa is an oasis of peace and serenity. Its colonial architecture, with tile roofs and white walls, gives it a fairytale look. This magical town is the perfect destination for nature and adventure lovers, with activities such as hiking, horseback riding, and the opportunity to check out the “Piedrotas,” giant monoliths that are iconic of this place. The fog that often envelops its streets creates a mystic and romantic atmosphere that highlights the attractiveness of this place.
Sayula
Sayula is a town with a deep arraignment in crafts and gastronomy that captivates all senses. Famous for its local knife craftsmanship, here you can find workshops where master forgers create steel into unique and functional pieces, from elegant knives to elaborate sabers. But the true jewel of Sayula is its food. Local gastronomy is a feast, with sweets and traditional bread as main protagonists. Nata bread, cajeta, and jams are some of the dishes you can try and take home.
