Tourism on Guadalajara, Mexico

Famous for its endless sunset, beautiful sights and a vast quantity of Mariachi bands, Guadalajara is a city located in the heart of Mexican culture. Gaudalajara is the second city in size of all Mexico (Ciudad de Mexico, capital district is the largest and more populated) and a lot of citizens consider Guadalajara as the Mexican culture epicenter. Despite the fact that Gaudalajara is not located directly in the coast, travelers can reach the beach in a day by bus if they wish so. Some of the most popular attractions in Guadalajara, however, have a lot to do with the beach; taking into account this city is the epicenter for many of the more interesting, outstanding festivities in Mexico.

Traveling to Mexico during September to any city is a special event, but the city of Guadalajara really does the better to celebrate the Independence Day. Although officially held on September the 16^th, Guadalajara takes part in month full of holidays. Celebrations start up with one of the biggest Mariachis shows all around the world with the International Mariachis Convention, and a passing by tourist will undoubtedly enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The parades and parties lived all over Guadalajara streets are wonderful and crowded during the ninth month of the year.

Second Ciudad de Mexico is both a colonial jewel and an important trade center which is regularly visited by interior designers from US South West. There is also an artistic scene alive to enjoy, with art galleries and museums. Guadalajara is a metropolis, with the inherent need of warning, it is better to stick to tourist areas on the central city and the sceneries of luxury neighborhoods like the ‘Zona Rosa’. One of the most interesting places around this community are the ‘Agave Azul’ fields in the also called ‘City of Tequila’, where distilleries of this alcoholic beverage can be visited including the ones of the famous brands: ‘Cuervo’ (Crow) and ‘Herradura ‘(Horseshoe). This is totally safe for all tourists, but once again, do not over-adventure over its streets if you are not being escorted by an ace Latin guide. Do you remember the incident with Jonas Brothers in which they refused to play in a Mexican city because of its high criminal rates? According to US authorities, Guadalajara is amongst the most safe cities for tourists next to Oaxaca, Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta.
