If you’re visiting Guadalajara, you don’t want to miss one of Mexico’s most beloved little towns, right on its doorstep! There are over 130 "magic pueblos" nationwide, cherished for their history and charm. Arguably none is more prized than Tlaquepaque, with its mix of antiquity and Mexican modernity. With a long history of national fame as the home of artisans who have produced some of the finest craftsmanship Mexico has to offer, Tlaquepaque presents a storybook like backdrop to a seemingly endless selection of shops in which to browse. Local pride in the history and culture is on display everywhere, in abundant works of public art, and especially on weekends when street performances of traditional music and folkloric dancing are common. Our walking tours are the perfect introduction to a town that has played an outsized role in the country’s history. Between the airport and Guadalajara’s historic center, we are 25 minutes from both, so a visit makes for a perfect day trip.

Puerto Vallarta is surrounded by stunning natural attractions, but knowing where to go—and getting there—takes insider knowledge. Travel to the quiet fishing village of Boca de Tomatlan during this half-day private excursion. From there, you’ll enjoy an adventure-filled trek to secluded Colomitos Beach, involving rock hopping, river crossing, and swimming.

Channel your inner miner on this tour from Guadalajara to the Magdalena Opal Mine. You'll get the chance to don a hard hat and hunt for opals before continuing to an obsidian deposit to see a different kind of stone. You'll then have time to dine on Mexican fare at an area restaurant before returning to your Guadalajara hotel.
