Templo Expiatorio del Santisimo Sacramento

Reviewed By mpn7330 - Portland, United States

Beautiful neo-gothic cathedral. Reputably the best example in Mexico. It’s a pleasant walk from the cathedral Guadalajara. Lovely square in front. Even though it says closed on Saturday, it was open to look in.

Steven’s show was incredibly entertaining. He sings and has a great voice, he tells stories which makes you really like him personally, he’s a great dancer, and of course, amazing pole dancer. I was very inspired by his confidence and talent.

Reviewed By Sparty2015 - Minnesota, United States

We stayed at the Mayan Hotel in the marina which is on the Pacific Ocean beach. After a very short walk to the Marina, you will be very impressed with all of the gorgeous sail boats and yachts, as well as the restaurants and shops. The restaurants range from some at very low prices to other white tablecloth establishments with fine dining menus. Easy to spend a few hours in this area every day.

Reviewed By TerriMac13 - Prince George, Canada

My partner and I have been to PV several times, and the Romantic Zone is our favorite part of town: beautiful architecture, lots of great shops and restaurants, and authentic Mexican charm away from the touristy areas. If you want to see the real PV, visit the Romantic Zone!

Instituto Cultural Cabanas

Once an orphanage, this building now serves as a gallery of the famous murals of Jose Clemente Orozco.

Reviewed By Beachmom206 - Ajijic, Mexico

Every time we visit Guadalajara, which is often because we live at Lake Chapala, we are never disappointed - the Orozco murals alone are worth the visit! There are always a number of different art exhibits going on, as the Cabanas is a large space with many side rooms and little patios, so exploring is always interesting.

Lake Chapala

Many Americans and other foreigners help make up the 20,000 people living near this picturesque lake, the country's largest inland body of water.

Reviewed By RealDS - London, United Kingdom

Prior to coming here, we didn’t know what exactly to expect. In an Uber it is jut shy of an hour from Guadalajara and it’s the closest you’ll get to a beach experience of staying in Guadalajara. I must say this is one of the most beautiful lake experiences I’ve had. There were a few Mariachi bands playing both by the lake and in a local beer garden. To add, there were some nice landmark features of which you can see in my picture illustrations. Everything in this area was inexpensive. To add there were various market stools along the beach area. The highlight of our visit here was our boat ride in the lake. It was the most perfect way to cool down at sun rise.

Zoologico Guadalajara

This large zoo contains over 2,000 animals and is located in a beautiful ravine.

Reviewed By 291genej - Silver Spring, United States

This Friday morning we took a US$4 UBER 11 km northeast from our Hotel NH Collection Guadalajara, arriving at 9:15 AM. After temperature check, hand sanitizer and paying the $8 senior rate for 2, we followed the zoo workers for the 200+ meter entryway to the Flamingo Pool. From here, we began a long shaded descent passing grass/pool/bird enclosures to the end of the valley, then returned on the other side, climbing back up. The 1 square mile property is well maintained, the animals we saw were in good condition in large enclosures, and there were ample clean restrooms spaced nicely throughout. Visitors spread out over many optional activities to suit their physical abilities and/or interests to include the Aquarium, Gondola, Safari Ride, Petting Park, Farm Animals, Picnicking, Shows and more. We enjoyed our 3 hour stroll seeing the active animals as well as the numerous well mannered masked families. This was a peaceful relaxing experience.
