Free Day in Guadalajara
Guadalajara, Mexico
About This Activity
Guadalajara rewards unhurried exploration. Walk from the historic center to the bohemian Colonia Americana, stopping into craft mezcalerías and independent bookshops. Catch live mariachi musicians at Plaza de los Mariachis — the tradition was born in Jalisco. Birria de res from a local tortería is the essential street meal here.
Seasonal note: Best Nov-Apr
