Casa Larrañaga
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Historic Walking Areas
(Translated by Google) A 17th century mansion that belonged to one of the founders of Asientos, Don Gaspar Benito Larrañaga.
On the façade you can still find the family coat of arms.
Legend has it that: He who manages to decipher the family shield will find three treasures..... one in the house itself, another in the miner's house and another on the white bridge.
It is worth mentioning that the Larrañaga house is currently private property, so it is only possible to admire it from the outside.
(Original)
Casona del siglo XVII, perteneció a uno de los fundadores de Asientos, Don Gaspar Benito Larrañaga.
En la fachada aún se puede encontrar el escudo de armas de la familia.
Cuenta la leyenda que: Aquel que logre descifrar el escudo de la familia encontrará tres tesoros..... uno en la propia casa, otro en la casa del minero y otro más en el puente blanco.
Es de mencionar que actualmente la casa Larrañaga es propiedad privada, por lo que únicamente es posible poder admirarla por fuera.
Gerardo Ledezma — Google review
(Translated by Google) Located in front of Alameda Rangel, this old house was home to the benefactor of Real de Asientos, Don Benito Gaspar de Larrañaga, a famous mining businessman who built the temple of Our Lady of Belén, as well as the prisons and the Royal Houses. On the façade you can even find the coat of arms of the Larrañaga family.
The Larrañaga House is distinguished by the religious anagrams carved in pink stone. Although it originally consisted of two floors, currently only one remains.
This 17th century house cannot be visited because it is a private estate, but you can enjoy it from outside.
Legend has it that whoever manages to decipher the family shield will find three treasures: one in the house itself, the second in the miner's house and the third on the white bridge.
(Original)
Ubicada frente a la Alameda Rangel, en esta antigua casa habitaba el bienhechor de Real de Asientos, Don Benito Gaspar de Larrañaga, célebre empresario minero quien construyó el templo de Nuestra Señora de Belén, así como las cárceles y las Casas Reales. En la fachada se puede encontrar aun el escudo de armas de la familia Larrañaga.
La Casa Larrañaga se distingue por los anagramas religiosos tallados en cantera rosa. Aunque originalmente se componía de dos plantas, actualmente solo queda una.
Esta casa del siglo XVII no puede ser visitada por tratarse de una finca privada, pero podrás disfrutarla desde fuera.
Cuenta la leyenda que aquel que logre descifrar el escudo de la familia encontrará tres tesoros: uno en la propia casa, el segundo en la casa del minero y el tercero en el puente blanco.

On a lake island, this 25m-tall sculpture of Christ with a missing arm & leg is a pilgrimage site.
A unique place in the world, I love the explanation given by our guide. Broken Jesus is 92 feet high and it was made by a local artist based on a broken Jesus that a priest bought in Sevilla, Spain.
The priest was gonna have it restored but at night Jesus in a revelation asked him to leave him the way it was.
With a broken arm for those who don't have a job...
With a broken leg for those who are sick, Ill, enprisoned and without hope...
And without a face because he was suffering when he saw all the pain on this world...

The Plaza de las Tres Centurias is a historic railway station complex from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which features a railroad museum, monuments, fountains, park areas and ancient trains. It is a popular spot for visitors to take photographs due to its beautiful buildings. Although there are not many activities taking place around the area to engage visitors or showcase the heritage of the historical buildings, it remains an obligatory stop for tourists.
Aguascalientes railway museum. Huge area, with historic locomotives, freight & passenger cars. Restaurants, cafes, parks playgrounds. Excellent for families and kids. Highly recommend.

Ome of the best places to just have a chill moment and be in touch with the culture of AGS.
Every Sunday you can find stands of different people selling fruits, food, and a variety of products.
Is also a greater place to spend time with your familia and kids. I love that is one of the few places where you can find that many trees.

Very nice place to view old classic trains. If you take the kiddy train tour, you can learn about the location and the train they have. They also have a museum but we left a little early and didn't go inside. It's a nice relaxing place.
Arturo Reyna — Google review
Probably the most photographeable spot in town. It has gorgeous buildings from an old train station complex built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This complex includes museum, park areas, fountains, fast food, real ancient trains, etc. But the place lacks of activities all around the place that engage the visitors or heritage inside its historical buildings. Anyways... This is an obligated stop in town.

Built between 1895 and 1908, the Templo de San Antonio de Padua is a stunning example of baroque and gothic architecture located in the historic city center. This Catholic church boasts intricate details both inside and out that are sure to amaze visitors. The surrounding area offers plenty of activities to enjoy, but the true beauty lies within this impressive structure with its fascinating construction history.
Whether you’re there for mass or not , this is a beautiful building from the inside and the outside , you’ll be stunned by the details! It’s absolutely gorgeous from any angle.

Calle Pedro Parga 252, Zona Centro, 20000 Aguascalientes, Ags., Mexico
The Museo Nacional de la Muerte showcases a vast array of pieces related to Mexico's favorite topic, death. With over 2500 items comprising drawings, literature, textiles, toys and miniatures, the museum spans several centuries from Mesoamerican to contemporary artistic interpretations. It was donated by Octavio Bajonero Gil and is on display at the Universidad Autonoma de Aguascalientes.
Great museum with so many artifacts.. including a mummy. I used google translate to help with the Spanish signs
Shari Whitlock — Google review
This museum is like Dr. Who's TARDIS, much bigger inside than it looks on the outside. There are many sections with tons of fascinating artifacts and artwork. Just when you think you've seen everything, you find more galleries. My favorite was the pre-Colombian room, wish they had more of those ancient artifacts actually.

Cynthia Medina — Google review
Very cool museum if you like skulls and skeletons. All in Spanish, but still worth it if you don't understand (or just use a translator app). Recommended if you are visiting Aguascalientes.
David Schiller — Google review
A necessary visit to understand the relationship of Mexicans with Death. Numerous objects collected from different time. Some panels explaining what were/are the beliefs about Death. Some analysis of the treatment of Deaths in newspapers.
You will see many skulls and many representations of the Death. It did relax my view on the matter.
Xavier P — Google review
As Mexicans we are pretty aware of death, we embrace it, we celebrate not death perse, but life to live and death as a final stage of our existence on this world.Athos museum is certainly a collection of feelings, life stories and people portayed through history, definitely a place to visit and envision the art and work from Aguascalientes and Mexico.
I'm putting 4 stars as there is no English translations on the articles.
Bernardo Martinez Santiago — Google review
We had a blast visiting this museum in the heart of Aguascalientes. Very informative and well presented. Admission is inexpensive. We were there around 3 hours or so. Highly recommended
Rafael Buelna (Rafael) — Google review
Fantastic. If you have ever seen Disney's Coco and wondered why Mexicans have a different attitude to death this museum explains everything from the Aztecs to modern Halloween. Interactive displays, amazing artwork and antiques.
Nearly the whole museum is wheelchair accessible with only one gallery having a small step, and the netherworld exhibition not at all possible, but it is tiny and not a huge loss to not see it.

Good sized enclosed park, full of tall green, beautiful, luscious trees and plants of all kinds. Very unique place to listen to birds, see squirrels waking around, listen to relaxing music or reading. I've seen people jog around the perimeter. You definitely have to visit at least once in your life, it's worth the journey. All around here are fancy restaurants and fast food options with some of the best desserts too! While you're here, stop at the church right in front, it's also gorgeous😊

Absolutely loved our visit here. We came only for the Temazcal. 90 minutes for 2 including clorofila (tea for hydration) and coffee body scrub was about $50usd. We had a relaxing experience and our skin felt baby smooth for several days following our time here.
They have changing rooms and showers which were great. Be sure to bring your own towel and shampoo. Robes can also be rented for a fee.
Highly recommend.

Massages are AMAZING. Prices are reasonable. Treated like a queen/king. Loved. Me encanto este lugar!
Naty Gonzalez — Google review
Temazcales: you will sweat from every orifice in your body, and it feels amazing. It does get intense, but its relaxing. After 1.5 hours of sweating, went for an hour massage. Ofelia was my masseuse and she was amazing. Explained I had a bad shoulder and she left that alone. She allowed me to enjoy the massage, very little interaction which allowed me to completely relax and fall asleep. Truly relaxing!
What they do need is additional help in the office upon checkout because it was busy and there wasn't sufficient help.
The atmosphere is relaxing, the massages are great, and the staff is nice.
Ojalá y pueda regresar para poder disfrutar de los temazcales, gracias!

A wonderful weekend trip. The temazcal was so relaxing as was the massage. They really took precautions for Covid-19 making sure the trip was both enjoyable and safe. The food as well was great. Not the normal food from a restaurant, instead it was flavored to perfection. I would definitely recommend them.
Jonathan Tinsman — Google review
Yolihuani has DELICIOUS micheladas/preparadas. I'm vegan so I don't add the Clamato and I can say it's the best michelada hands down in the Calvillo area. It's ice cold and so flavorful!
The temazcal itself is wonderful and relaxing, plus it's always clean and smells nice. I recommend getting the package that comes with ice and a towel, chlorophyll water, hair conditioner, oatmeal face mask (which tastes and smells amazing), and coffee body scrub. There are different scented teas to pour over the piping hot volcanic rock, so make sure to ask what scents they have. Sometimes the fogoneros (folks who change the rocks and bring the tea) will bring rosemary from the garden and add it to rocks - it smells great!
I always make sure to get a massage as well and so far all my massages have been relaxing and worthwhile. The stone massage is great if you have sore or aching muscles. They have body wrap combos that help to soften and hydrate the skin. The body wrap process can get cold, but the masseuses make sure to keep you warm - you can also ask and they will warm the room or provide a soft blanket.
Overall, my favorite spa when I visit Aguascalientes. It might be my favorite in Mexico! Really friendly staff and excellent services. Definitely try the preparadas without Clamato, the flavor is excellent and pairs well with the hot steam of the temazcal.
Some notes:
- They charge extra for towels, sandals and robes. I recommend bringing your own. If your swimsuit gets wet, bring a wet bag (or any bag) to hold your wet items.
- Please bring cash to tip the fogoneros and masseuses. They work real hard and deserve a good tip and wages! :)
- If you are going to do the package I stated above, you should bring some shampoo and body wash to remove the body scrub thoroughly, the coffee stains your skin a bit (tho it's alright, since you'll smell like freshly brewed coffee :P ).

It was beautiful. Went on a weekday so it wasn't too crowded. Also, its a shame that we cannot go further into the cathedral, but i understand it's because of COVID guidelines. It's still the same, so many people trying to sell you candy or cheap metal bracelets/necklaces, just say no thank you and continue walking. Nevertheless, it was a wonderful experience.

José López Lara 5, Centro, 47000 San Juan de los Lagos, Jal., Mexico
Acatic is a town and municipality, in Jalisco in central-western Mexico. The municipality covers an area of 339.2 km². The town produces mainly Spanish style shingles, brick, adobe floor tile, chia, corn, and tequila. Pueblo Viejo Tequila is bottled near by. The town is the entry "gate" to Los Altos of Jalisco. Wikipedia.
The Zoologico Guadalajara is one of the best zoos in Latin America and is home to a wide variety of animals from all over the globe. The gardens are well-maintained and provide plenty of shade, while additional attractions like the Sky Zoo offer a birds' eye view of the animal habitats, as well as a safari experience with close encounters with giraffes, elephants, rhinos, hippos and ostriches.
There are a variety of tickets available which allow you access to different areas. All are very reasonably priced. I got the basic zoo package and really enjoyed the day. The monkey land feature was fantastic and the monkeys were free to run around and up to you. The day does involve a lot of walking and hills which may not be ideal in the heat with children, but you can pay a small amount more for the train or chairlift to avoid that. The only negative I found was how busy some of the areas such as the reptile house were, which meant you were shuffled through quite quickly but we were there on a nday which is the busiest day. Overall, would definitely recommend and if I were to return would buy the ticket add ons for more areas.
Yugal S — Google review
I recommend the Diamond package.
There’s a lot of walking.
Safari ride is rough road *No seat belt*
The train is a one time use with the bracelet.
The skyline has great views. It’s difficult getting on and off.
The aquarium is small. Best part is feeding the manatees. The penguin building smelled horrible. However it was cute seeing the penguins.
As for food
You can bring your own food.
I had popcorn <~Terrible, burnt
Cheeseburger <~ I didn’t like the taste
Nachos <~ great
Quesadilla <~ okay
The facilities are outdated but it’s not a big deal.
Overall it’s a great place to visit.

A once in a lifetime experience. We loved everything about it. The prices are shown in the picture. We bought the “diamante” because it has the sky zoo + aquarium. Once entering you are greeted by the flamingos. On your right there is a food stand. And walk more on your left is the entrance to the train. The train takes you around the whole park. A little ahead is the entrance for the sky zoo. That did not have a line, unlike the train did. I went on the sky zoo first then ate some food and then went on the train. After that we walked around the zoo and towards the end we went on the safari truck that takes you around specific animals that are closed off. My favorite is the sky zoo because it’s unique and you see everything. The train is alright and is quick. I went on a Friday afternoon, to see the whole thing lasted us 5 hours. The gift shops were not so good and pricey. You could go inside the zoo with a bottled water and snacks. The food inside is also expensive but decent. I bought the tickets on the spot in the booth. The wait wasn’t much. Buy the wristbands and place it on and go in.

Well maintained ZOO, there are 3 packages 100, 260, 330 peso. 100 peso for Normal walk through visiting animals. For marine, safari, sky zoo have to buy 260 or 330 peso package. I could suggest get 330 peso package and go morning time 10 am so you can complete all these areas. Foods are available inside zoo. Penguin, Marine, Sky zoo, White Lion, kangaroo are highlights in this zoo. Close to ZOO children's park also there... kindly plan accordingly full day visit for kids with family..

Nice place to spend time with friends and family. The zoo is so big that I will suggest you to wear comfortable shoes sneakers preferably. They have a lot of activities to do in the zoo. The price of the ticket is reasonable not at all expensive. It includes cable train tour, train ride and many more stuff with in the zoo. You’ll find small cafe to grab something real quick to eat.

It was very warm but super enjoyable. Employees were super helpful and friendly. I recommend buying the diamond pass, you get to enjoy everything once, the train, safari, aquarium and the sky zoo (recommend doing this towards closing time) it was quiet and you can enjoy listening to the birds.

Great way to spend the day with a family. Get the premier pass which has the Safari and the aquarium. Don't miss the views at the end of the park. The eating area is next to a cliff and it's very beautiful.

I had really good day at the zoo. It's a one day activity. Thanks for keeping it up. Note: Safari, penguin is not worth the cost. They can improve it.

Came to Guadalajara with my granddaughter who wanted to visit the Zoologico Guadalajara, and we were pleasantly surprised to see how much there was to see. So much greenery...everything was lush, overgrown, trees that have been here for decades. The exhibits were very well designed, for example the monkey areas: cables which supported the netting, as well as the enclosure which allows the animals to go from area to area, a great job. Our favorite was the ride thru the Masai. Wow. You see the many different animals in their natural environments, living in harmony with other animals. You're able to witness the water buffalo, the ostriches, antelopes, alligators of the Nile river. Along with the Elephants, the Rhinos, the Hippos and so much more. There is so much to see and experience within these walls. Come and spend some time, you will be coming back again. 😎👍👍

This is a big zoo I had read reviews this was small. There’s a lot of walking a lot of animals recommend taking the sky zoo there they take you on these trams you can see some animals from above very cool. Whatever you do don’t get food here or the horchata it was not good.

At the Guadalajara zoo there are different price points and we opted for the premier which is a short train ride,nice enough and quick. My mom has a disability scooter and I asked the attendant if he's sure they will take care of it because she needs it for long distances and was assured it won't leave the platform if we didn't hand in the number given to us. When the train completed the trip we took it and no one batted an eye or even asked if it was ours so clearly if anyone leaves something with them just know there's a possibility it can be taken. She drove off with it and nobody stopped us, I went around and gave the attendant both numbers and he didn't even ask a question. Do not leave your stuff there because again there is no assurance it will be taken care of. The zoo is ok, it's off the bucket list for a family member that has kids. I was not interested especially with my mom, I really think it needs better operations when it comes to getting off the train and more disability pathways.

We had a very short visit so we bought the basic package. We bought the train a sky tram tickets separately. Not sure if it would make sense to buy the diamond package but that price jump is crazy. Either way the zoo is HUGE. Definitely need a whole day to walk through it all. We got to feed the baby deers. So cute! There were plenty of bathrooms and trash cans around. Very clean. Definitely would come back.

What a fun zoo! I was shocked how good it was coming from places like the National Zoo in DC, the San Diego zoo, and point defiance in the PNW. It's not nearly as big as those but it's really well laid out and the sky lift that goes from one end to the other gives you amazing views across the entire zoo.

Great time at the Zoo in Guadalajara. It was about $120 pesos for adults for admission. You can buy additional "attractions" once you're inside vs. buying the pass that includes everything before you enter. Fun for kids and family!

We visit zoos all over the US. and I must say this zoo in Guadalajara is one of the ones that I enjoyed the most. A lot of wide open space for the animals, and they had plenty of opportunities to interact with the animals. Would like to return, highly recommended. Went went on a Wednesday in February, and it wasn't crowded at all.

C. P.º del Zoológico 600, Huentitán El Alto, 44390 Guadalajara, Jal., Mexico
Located in the heart of Guadalajara, this cultural center focuses on art and culture. It features over 100 different rooms and 20 patios, as well as murals by renowned Mexican artist Jose Clemente Orozco. There is also a rich collection of other pieces by Mexican artists on display. Regular art exhibitions are held here, and there are also attractions suitable for children.
We spent our day here on a casual friday. There was a short line before entering the museum, there is a price difference for locals and tourists. You can't drink or eat during the walk and you must leave all the bags at the start.
For the tourist there are 2 tours a day.
You can walk yourself through the museum.
The museum is very big and is inside an old hospice. They gave the medicines to the people which came from the garden.
Without an guide it is very hard to walk it on the correct way, so we went all over and skipped a couple of rooms.
The most famous part was very beautiful! You can see the pictures yourself (:
If you ask me if this is a must see in Guadalajara I would say no, but still a nice museum if you don't have plans for the day.
Olivier J — Google review
A striking building, but unfortunately the expos were underdeveloped with too little historical background and context.
The building is huge and wonderfully beautiful as its own history piece.
I was disappointed in the staff. They were uninterested in helping patrons or making them feel at home in this public cultural space. Due to poor signage, lack of staffing, and the curmudgeon and unhelpful attitude of the present staff, we were more often lost than found.
Only after we returned home did we discover we missed (never found) one half of the museum. I'm embarrassed to admit... We somehow missed half of the museum?
It's disheartening a public space's value was reduced by resident employees. I expected more pride in one's city, state, and country.
For $4 US it was worth seeing one half of the museum.

We traveled with 5 people. We paid at the taquilla per adult and one kid. My purse and backpack were not allowed, too big for their standard. They do have free tags for storage with museum staff,or private lockers for some pesos. We stored our stuff safely with staff and it was an easy pickup. We visited around noon on a Thursday and it was not busy. We took a stroller and the walkways were pretty accessible. We took plenty of pictures and enjoyed our time there. I really liked the QRC code for a history in English and Spanish. So bring your headphones/ airpods. There is a cafe that sells snacks and water because our backpack lunch wasn't allowed. The bathrooms were clean and accessible. I didn't see any baby changing tables, so that was a bummer. We would return again.

I stopped by after learning this was a former orphanage. A tour guide mentioned that kids who didn’t know their parents were given the last name of the orphanage founder. The compound now consists of mostly newer art. Probably would have been more enjoyable with a tour guide, but it’s possible to stroll around on your own and leverage the QR codes. Free admission Tuesdays.

Worth a visit in Guadalajara! Architecturally stunning building with renowned murals in the interior make for an awe inspiring experience. There is written narrative on the murals in both English and Spanish, and more throughout the building by QR code. Only 4 stars because I thought, a a while, building’s space could be more thoughtfully used with additional exhibitions.

Very nice theatre, the home of the Jalisco Symphonic Orchestra, it reminded me a bit of the theatre a la Scala in Milan.
Entry is free if there are no events between the opening times for visitors (13:00 to 15:00), the orchestra and other performances happen frequently so it is worth checking the programme.

Top-end theater venue, great acoustics.
Went to the 2023 Mariachi gala and was not disappointed. Teatro Degollado is a superb concert hall, with a seating capacity of around 1,600.
Pro-Tip: Bar prices are predictably on the high side and the bar itself is not really large enough to cater for a full house, during the short intermissions.
Pocket/purse searches happen at the door, so if you're trying to bring something in, you need to be creative.

The impressive cathedral in the heart of Guadalajara is a centuries-old building made up of a mix of architectural styles. The towers are iconic and locals are proud of its architecture, which dates back to 1854.
So beautiful to just sit on the benches and watch the sun go down behind the cathedral. Guadalajara is beautiful! The streets are so busy, and there are merchants everywhere. The architecture is stunning. Not many cafes in the center through. I probably wouldn’t stay all day in the center around the cathedral, a few hours max. Thanks for hosting someone from the USA 🇺🇸❤️

A beautiful cathedral surrounded by walking areas (plazas). There is a big fountain in front of it. Inside the light creates beautiful effects. Take the time to walk all around and inside.

The Templo Expiatorio del Santísimo Sacramento is a beautiful, historic church located in the heart of Guadalajara. It is well worth a visit for its dramatic Gothic-style architecture and impressive stained glass windows. The temple is open daily from 07:00 to 21:00 and visitors are charged for admission.
Gothic architecture, activities around it, dancing people, artists. Let the music pierce your heart. Of course, we should not forget to travel by electric carriage. This is one of the regions that reflect the real culture of Mexico. Everything was very positive. I strongly recommend you to see the inside of the building.

Do yourself a favor and assure you come here.
If you can talk your way into the catacombs downstairs too, it will make an experience you won't soon forget. If you can't, I've added lots of photos.
There is a small show outside when the hours turn. Make time to peruse the surrounding areas.
It is good manners to assure you leave a donation before you depart.

You can’t really beat this Neo-Gothic marvel anywhere in the Americas that I’ve seen. Impeccably built about 100 years ago to match the great gothic cathedrals of Europe. For a second, you could be in medieval England or France. Free time enter, take off your hat and respect worshippers.

I love The Expiatorio it's rich with history about it's struggle to be built, several times it changed architectures for reasons of destiny. The clock is German made; curiously on the hour the clock chimes 25 songs and at the same time little door's open and figurines of the Apostles comes out and makes a half circle and then go back in the other door.
Built in the Gothic style the columns inside are so beautiful and there are many of them. The stained glass windows and towers are awesome, and the craftsmanship is fantastic. I highly recommend that you explore this church.
There's under ground parking.

There is a sweet scent in the air. It was Friday night and there was a mass taking place. There was a woman who was leading the worship. It appeared to me that most everyone present was a local.

Brilliant! 100% don't miss!!
So many sites on the internet say this place is only open certain days. If the review you read is more than 5 minutes old l, forget it. This town is evolving and distilleries like this are pretty much open everyday. Just show up and ask for a tour.
I have been to Mexico about 20 times and my favorite thing is to visit small unique towns. Tequila is an incredible place if you want authentic Mexican culture, food, kind people, and good vibes. But this town has one extra thing, tequila!!!
La Rojeña is where the José Cuervo magic happens. The tour is completely informative, explaining the tequila making process in detail, and at the end (if you pay the extra pesos for the tasting package, a MUST in my opinion) you get a view into tequila flavors and nuance that I never knew existed! Trust me, stop reading this review and just go there! The tasting at the end is amazing!
It was absolutely brilliant! Our guide (sorry, can't remember her name) was perfect. At each stop, though the factory is loud, she had a mic connected to Bose speakers so you could hear every word (I did the English speaking tour).
At the end you can buy special made tequilas at factory prices. Absolutely no pressure to buy, but a good deal all the same!
I am fairly cynical when it comes to touristy things, this is a 100% don't miss!!!

My significant other and I walked in the Recepción Venta De Boletos and ended up purchasing the Experiencia Clásica for the tour of La Rojeña. The Precio / Price was $315MXN for each person. It wasn’t too bad and I figured this would be the best place to do my first tequila tour.
The tour started by us sitting down to watch the history of the company on a large screen. It was in Spanish, but it had English subtitles. It was maybe around 15 minutes and gave a good background of their company. When it was over, our tour guide greeted us to continue our experience.
He took us through the entrance to La Rojeña. We were shown tequila in the Ordinario, also known as Ordinary form. We weren’t able to taste it, but we were able to smell it. It was strong! The bottle that was near that one was the Blanco, also known as White. This tequila was the Tradicional Plata. We were able to taste this one. It had a nice warmth to it. It was good quality in my opinion.
Not long after, we approached a barrel area. We got to try the 6 Meses, 12 Meses, and 18 Meses forms of tequila. The 6 Meses was the Tradicional Reposado. The 12 Meses and 18 Meses were both the Tradicional Añejo. I enjoyed all of them in a different way.
Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. He explained everything tremendously.
Overall, the tour of La Rojeña was an excellent experience! I would love to visit again someday!
Date of visit: 10/ENE/2024

Fun and informative tours! We did the classic plus the extra tasting. Our guide spoke great English, was incredibly knowledgeable, and fun to spend an hour with. You get to see quite a bit of the factory and drink 3 strong shots before even starting the tasting so be prepared to consume a good amount of tequila. Would recommend to a friend.

The tour was okay, but we felt that it was rushed because the spanish crowd was catching up behind the English tour. Compared to other tours, this felt a little less thrilling. But it was still good. There are many Tequila tours, this is not my first choice.

We discovered Casa Sauza by accident, and it was a fantastic experience. The grounds and garden are immaculate, and the ambiance is peaceful and serene. We felt and were treated like royalty by the staff, and the food and drinks were amazing. We started with house made salsa and chips, and I ordered a Sauza margarita rimmed with Tajin. Next, we ordered a tuna tartare dish and a wrapped tuna dish that touched every sensory signal on our taste buds. Lord willing, I will be back very soon. The next time, I will plan on spending two full days in this Pueblo Magico. I feel like we just touched the surface of this town, and there are many memories left to be made!

Not only one of the most beautiful places to eat in Tequila but maybe all of Mexico. A hidden gem of a hacienda style restaurant with amazing service, food and ambiance. I highly recommended you visit here when in or near Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico.

RUN....don't walk to Casa Sauza!
This place is an absolute gem that's shine is only outmatched by the staff that run it.
I had my wedding here in October of 2023. I was traveling from the US and was doing everything virtually, with no planning or prepping in person. And IRMA DID THE THING!
She was INCREDIBLE to work with! It was like she could read my thoughts and everything was better and more magical than I ever could have imagined. I would get married here a million times over if I could. Such a wonderful experience all around.

Casa is beautiful, the tequila tour is good and worth every penny, they take you to the agave field and show you the process, after that you take a tequila tasting class (get ready to lesvw drunk) and you make tour own cantaritos! Local shop is cheap, tequila is super cheap!

Large circular pyramids are the highlight of this unique archaeological site dating to 300 BCE.
If you can survive the hike up the mountain's road, the view is more than worth it. Just make sure to bring water and wear clothing to shade your body.

I am traveling all over Mexico now the 4th week, but Ithis was the most attractive historical place so far I have visited.
Besides the mindblowingly beautiful historical findings I simply adored the dedication and the huge knowledge from the young tour guides (kindest people I have met so far! - I mean it! Dear Mexican people: please learn some good manners from these guys! 😉) , the content, the arficacts, everything.... The whole site is wonderfully looked after , and it is literally history is being explored right in front of your eyes.
I feel honoured and humbled that I had a chance to explore this wonderful place. Thank you.
Bori Papp — Google review
Absolutely stunning! This Pre-Classic site is about an hour's drive out of Guadalajara and is well worth it. There's a carpark, toilets and a museum, which is very interesting. Had an artist go through some of the interactive elements in the museum, which was fascinating. Then I had a guide, which I don't normally do, but thought it useful. There is a walk up the hill to the site, so be ready. It is quite steep at parts but is paved. Once you reach the top, prepare to be amazed.
The ages of the tombs/temples increase as you go round and there could still be more to be found, as the largest one remains unexcavated. There are signs and maps so you can figure out where to go if you are on your own. The views from here are stunning too and in the background lies the Tequila volcano.
Can be done with a visit to Tequila and highly recommend stopping in Teuchitlan for a walk about.

Really beautiful. We did not understand how much there is to do there. We did not have much time as we needed to catch a flight in GDL so we will be returning soon with the family for a 2 day weekend. The last photo is from the web but it's what motivated us to go there. Lovely tourist puebla with 2 Balenarios.

Precolonnial unique round pyramids!
A short but steep hike up - a ride is an option, but it was totally manageable. We hired a guide, and he was worth every peso. After we walked, we went into the museum near the parking lot. They played a short documentary for us in English - they had just run in Spanish immediately before.
I found this place super interesting and worth the drive from Aijijic.
Felicity Allcorn — Google review
This site was amazing. Get a guide who knows the area to take you on a tour. You have to arrange this ahead of time but if you ask enough people you'll be able to find someone. Our guide worked in excavation at the site for 20+ years so he knew what made it special and he shared culturally significant information. The museum was good but we definitely got to see the inside works by having a guide.
Tip: if you're not in decent shape, or if you're traveling with young children or older adults, ask at the museum about getting a ride to the site. It's not a long walk but it's very steep, there's no shade, and nowhere to sit down.

Zona arqueologica Teuchitlan or Guachimontones is a beautiful archeological place. When I went there were not many tourists and we had the hole place almost to ourselves. It was very peaceful.
We arrived on bus from Guadalajara and ate at a small restaurant near the bus station. Then we walked up a hill to go to the archeological site. You can also go up in a vehicle. It is quite an up hill walk, and we got tired, but it was worth it. I left some videos of the archeological site. There were some very nice views out on the horizon. They also have a small museum at the archeological site. They also have a sort of nature trail that you can walk through, which was nice. Be sure to take sunblock if it is a sunny day and a sun hat.

Arrived Saturday at 4pm and it was plenty of time to explore. $30MX per adult. There are very clean bathroom facilities by the parking and an air conditioned museum that presents a 15 minute documentary. Highly recommend to go in the museum before walking to the pyramids. There is a 15 minute incline walk up to the pyramids, be warned. Wear comfortable shoes and depending on the time of day it can get really hot.
It was very interesting and it deserves a visit.

What happened here? Who built this place? Why are we just finding it? It’s a great site with mysteries we may never know. As as the excavations continue, perhaps we will learn one day. Not an easy trek to get up the hill, so if you’re not expecting that, it could ruin the whole experience. (And use the bathroom ! There is not one at the top). Be sure to use a guide on site. I
Best Park in Tepic! Great for Family Picnics, activities, or just want to gat away and get lost in nature. All kinds of things to do. From the train to the jogging track that goes all around the park, or creative sculpture painting with the family or by yourself. It's fun for everyone and safe.

I don't know how this place is legal, they have all the animals in small cages, no decoration, no enrichment items, is depressing... They have 3 jaguars and they all look incredibly sad and their cages are stupidly small. They also have a single raccoon in a small cage, raccoons are social creatures, that's just torture. Please do not support this place.

You go on a board and they take you through a winding river and I saw a couple of crocodiles and some birds and turtles which was really cool then we make a pit stop at a crocodile sanctuary where you can see them up close and it's so cool they have a Swimming area where you can Swim with fish! The second pit stop was a only a swimming area as well and there was a restaurant there but they took forever to give us the food because they forget we even ordered. Recommend taking this trip!

The building is amazing and the guy receiving us was awesome and helped us not hate our stay. We went for Valentine’s Day and the place run out of electricity during the night, the worker was gone to turn on the electric plant. The fireplace in the room has the pilot off and we had to sleep cold. We didn’t get the WiFi password so we didn’t have any service to let him know the power was gone. The next morning the restaurant was closed for the day that I wish I would know since the website promotes this nice restaurant. Also the 14th we thought about going to el general steak house and they closed that day as well. We felt it was a waste of money since we could not enjoy the hotel amenities and the restaurants were closed.

Stunning surroundings but WOW the service and welcomness of the manager ruined everything!!! Worst part is that he keeps charging my CC! First a double charge the day of checkout that I had my bank reverse right away when it came to my attention. Now a month later a new charge for a stay a slightly different amount so not a mistake. He claims he can't find the charge even though it's clearly posted on my bank statement that I sent to him as prof.

Sendero el Nogalito 2, 46990 San Sebastián del Oeste, Jal., Mexico
Los Arcos is a residential street that boasts low, colorful houses and palm trees. The area offers a distant view of the hills and is a popular tourist attraction. Visitors can take a boat tour out to see the stunning arches up close, which provide excellent opportunities for snorkeling and paddleboarding. However, some have found that the water in this area can be too murky for good snorkeling.
This is an absolutely stunning spot to go snorkeling! I highly recommend doing so through a local - he can be found on Airbnb through Experiences - it's called "The Arches." You can also locate him by his Instagram handle - adrenalyn_junkies - 10/10!

We took a small boat tour out to the arches Very stunning to see up close and to enter into one of the arches Good snorkeling and paddle board area but I find the water too murky for good snorkeling The east side of the country (in the Caribbean off Yucatan especially by Puerto Morales) it much better both for clear water and amazing sea life in the barrier reefs Still better to take a boat ride around Los Arcoles than trying to see them from the observation point along the highway.

Very disappointing. I rarely leave reviews but this place was just so bad. I’ve had way better seafood at Red Lobster hundreds of miles inland to give ya an idea of how bad. My margarita was so bad I had to have them take it back—tasted like aspartame from sugar substitute or something. The breaded shrimp that I ordered was both soggy and burnt at the same time. It had more of a chicken texture than shrimp. The service was decent and the outdoor seating in the back is by the beach and nice.

We were at Restaurant El Malecon the other night. They have a large selection of sauces at the table. And then they bring out chips with more sauces. After that we shared a guacamole. My wife then had the tortilla soup and shrimp tacos, while I had the mummy shrimp. Overall the food was good as was the service. The prices are certainly Malecon and beach side prices. There was a live duet playing music and singing and they were pretty good. But the main reason for eating here is the spectacular view as we watched the sunset over the ocean. In the end that is what you are paying for.

The Catholic Church's most iconic and recognizable structure is the Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The church is crowned by a Renaissance-style tower, and hosts an annual festival with a colorful parade. The bells chiming before mass time are also distinctive.
The church is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2022. It offers daily services in Spanish that all are welcome to attend. We were impressed by the unique crown at the top of the tower. When you visit, also go to see the gazebo and courtyard nearby. It's a great spot to sit, relax and people watch.

I could see the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe before walking up the hill. The church and the area are bustling. Many stores and street vendors sell gifts and souvenirs in the area. But the minute I walked into the church. It became solemn and tranquil. Everyone respected the church. The Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe is beautiful. I like the surrounding area as well.

Average looking church, inside and outside. If you were to put this church in Paris, Rome, Florence or Mexico City, you would walk right by it without noticing it. It is a working church so mass does take place, hence you should be respectful of the worshippers. Located in the central part of town, three blocks from the beach. There are some souvenir shops in front along with a few restaurants. This is a place you visit once, and not come back, despite it being a major landmark in Puerto Vallarta.

Pamphlets and schedules available to plan your week of evening events and also to read the event descriptions to ensure you choose the right type of entertainment for you. Currently, COVID protocols are in place, and you can choose your venue seating in advance of the performance when you buy your tickets. Discount tickets are sometimes available if you purchase in advance at the Saturday flea market in the square.

I saw the Karma Chameleon show and Follies. Karma was excellent and the dancers were fabulous. Follies was the highlight of my trip to Puerto Vallarta. I'm a big Broadway fan and this show was excellent!

Great little theater to watch some live music. We went to watch Bobbi and the Others perform their show called Queens of Country. The tickets are really reasonable and there is a bar inside while you wait. They also have a server that you can order from during the show. It makes for a fun date night while you're in PV

The Britney Spears tribute show was all I wanted to see at Act2PV! Ximena was INCREDIBLE as Britney. The choreography, references, dancers and production was so fun! Highly recommend the Britney tribute show!

This is a great place to see a male review show. The ticket price was moderate so don't expect a massive production of a show. However, we sat in the front row and were greatly entertained by the female lead and her four male strip dancers. We all had a fantastic time and would do it all again. Heads up! There is a two drink minimum beyond the base ticket price.

I went to the It's Raining Men show. The staff were friendly and attentive, the cocktails delicious and fairly priced, and the venue was cozy and intimate.
The show was fabulous! The choreography was on point and the dancers were a lot of fun (not to mention gorgeous). I even made friends with some other people in the audience 😊

My husband and I came here to see the Hedda Lettuce show and loved everything about this venue! We arrived about an hour before the show and thoroughly enjoyed the live music in the beautiful lounge area before the show started. Would absolutely see another show here again!

saw the Queen show last night and left half way through. Excellent main singer who portrayed Freddie Mercury and excellent guitarist & keyboard player but couldn't hear the singing, keyboard or guitar playing due to the freak on drums who played so load as to make one unable to hear the others in the group and made the experience not enjoyable. As an avid Queen fan couldn't believe their song selection as the first 2 songs were unrecognizable. Not a happy evening. When we explained our experience to the manager he was very understandable & said that in their first show they were told about complaints about the very load drummer but didn't make any changes...The manager did give us a 2 for 1 coupon for a future show.

The show was all that was promised and was expected. Some of the casting seemed a bit stretched in the beginning, but they and there roles grew on us. The staging was creative and not distracting, and, of course, the music was ABBA rich. Every minute was worth every penny. Thanks gang.

Intimate and colorful experience with in your face singers and dancers. Very fun and talented show, would recommend. Drinks were served promptly and results were flowing, and the crowd was enjoying the show. Very excited for this summer’s shows.
One stand our talent was an artist by the name of Bigi. She has a phenomenal voice, and was very in tune with the crowd as she sang a gorgeous ballad by Whitney Houston. She is one of the most talented singers ever! Can’t wait to see her upcoming shows.
