Exploring Guadalajara and the best place to stay, best thing to do, and a bit of Tequila and Mariachi in this Guadalajara Mexico vlog!
Stay at DoubleTree by Hilton! hilton.tp.st/F...
Guadalajara is Mexico's "Pearl of the West" and is known for its Tequila, and is the birthplace of Mariachi! We had an incredible time getting to know Guadalajara and I think we found the best place to stay (right on the plaza!).

Thanks for watching! We’re not usually big city people but boy did WE HAVE FUN in Guadalajara! 💃🕺Cool buildings, markets, tequila, mariachi bands… what’s not to love?! What was your favourite part? 😄 Wanting to experience more of Guadalajara? Check out some highly recommended tours here 👉 bit.ly/GuadalajaraExperiences

I don't know if you are still close to Jalisco, but you could go to small pueblo, called tequila where the drink came from, there is a train tour to a tequila hacienda, you could also visit some small circular pyramids called guachimontones near the city, or visit Chapala and Ajijic, many retired ex-pats live in those places, and of course visiting Puerto Vallarta

Another great video guys! Tortas ahogadas can vary widely depending on where you get them from (there are ones with delicious fish “carnitas” and cream-based sauces, for example, as well as ones that definitely pack more of a kick). Try a few more before you leave Jalisco! If you come to Chapala/Ajijic feel free to reach out - it’s a sort of surreal experience with the amount of gringos here, but we’ve found our own niche for the time we’ve been in Chapala. Thanks again for all the great content. ❤

You should have walked west from Centro all the way to Glorieta Minerva. That's what the city is all about. All the tree lined streets and cool terraces to eat and drink. I think that's why you prefered Guanajuato. I don't think it's a fair judgement if you only visited downtown.
