If you love unique, unforgettable experiences in nature, here are 5 amazing places to go camping in Jalisco.
Sierra Lago
Just 30 minutes from downtown Mascota lies this magnificent boutique hotel, offering a rare chance to take in a wooded, countryside landscape with clear blue skies and invigorating fresh air: an extraordinary place to unwind, far from civilization. Built around Juanacatlán Lake, which once filled the crater of an ancient volcano, it features a spa, two restaurants, a chapel for civil or religious ceremonies, a heated pool, cozy cabins, and a designated camping area.
Mazamitla
Come explore this region known for its beautiful scenery of streams, forests, and mountains, perfect for rest and relaxation as well as outdoor sports and ecotourism; you'll see why it's such an amazing place to camp. Strolling its streets is a treat; enjoy the town square and parish church, which wrap you in the unmistakable atmosphere of a classic mountain town. If you're looking for excitement, adventure, and fun, Mazamitla welcomes you with open arms. And be sure to try Bote, one of its signature dishes, made with chicken, beef, and pork.
Tapalpa
The name of this Pueblo Mágico means "land of color" in Nahuatl, a nod to the hue of the region's soil. Indeed, the turquoise sky, the emerald forests, and the red earth create a stunning landscape. Located 140 km (about 87 miles) southwest of Guadalajara at 2,000 meters (around 6,560 feet) above sea level, Tapalpa is an amazing place to camp; the scent of pines, oaks, and wildflowers, along with the smell of firewood burning to keep homes warm, gives it a truly rustic feel. Nights are cool, so there's nothing better than a cup of hot chocolate, paired with a chard tamal and, for dessert, the region's traditional walnut rompope (eggnog) while you enjoy the quiet, starry night. This is a camping spot you simply can't miss.
Ajijic
Drawn by the climate, location, and tranquility, thousands of expats have made Ajijic, a community on the shores of Lake Chapala, Jalisco, their home. The weather, its proximity to an international airport, and its safety are just a few of its many draws. Ajijic is also an amazing place to camp, set on the shores of Mexico's largest lake, with an average temperature of 25 °C (77 °F) and a slow pace of life like the one found in many Mexican towns.
Quila
Located about eight kilometers (five miles) north of Tecolotlán, Jalisco, this region is considered an important biological corridor, as its vegetation provides ideal habitat for wildlife, supporting a large number of mammals, birds, and reptiles that in turn enrich its Protected Natural Area, the Sierra de Quila. It also boasts a waterfall and lookout point, with a drop of roughly 30 meters (about 100 feet), which makes it another amazing place to camp.
Plan your getaway to Sierra Lago
If you love sleeping surrounded by nature but also appreciate comfort, Sierra Lago, in the forest of Mascota, is the perfect base. Relax in our lakeside luxury cabins, enjoy activities like hiking, fishing, and stargazing, and see how to get here from Puerto Vallarta or Guadalajara.
