Jalisco is the land of tequila, of the mariachi, of the charros and horseshows (jaripeo). Beaches, towns, craftsmanship, traditions, mountains, a lagoon that appears to have no end, historic buildings and adventure. The name of Jalisco originates from the Náhuatl “above quicksand”. The state capital, known as ‘Perla de Occidente’, is one of the most beautiful towns in México. While roaming through its streets and admiring the architectonic greatness that makes this town so strikingly beautiful, one can listen tapatío music in the distance. The delicious smell of typical dishes will reach your senses, just as you will most surely encounter the famous and beautiful tapatía (native of Guadalajara) women dancing. Guadalajara is the city that has given the country its image of iconic symbols such as the mariachi, tequila, and charrería.
