Welcome to the shores of Lake
Chapala, Mexico -- land of sunshine and mild temperatures --
commonly referred to as the "Land of Eternal Spring". Thousands of
retirees from the United States, Canada and many other parts of the
world live here either full- or part-time. Many from "north of the
border" escape the winter doldrums OR the extreme southern heat at
various times of the year.
Ajijic, located in a mountain valley (part
of Mexico's Sierra Madre Mountains) is a quaint Mexican village
located in the state of Jalisco, on the northern shore of Lake
Chapala.
Ajijic (ah-hee-HEEK) is located forty minutes south of the city of
Guadalajara (30 minutes from Hidalgo International Airport).
Ajijic is a friendly town where native artisans mix with visitors
from diverse corners of the world and the cost of living is
reasonable.
Discover the pleasures of this
charming village with its cobblestone streets, many of which were
laid during the days of Spanish rule around 1523 A.D. Walk down any
street and you will see a cascade of flowers gracing stone walls
that hide magnificent homes--you never know what you may find until
you "peak behind the walls".
Ajijic is situated at an altitude of 1470
meters (5,200 feet); the sun shines daily and the mean temperature
is 24ºC (75º Fahrenheit). |
