Charrera
When the Spanish first settled in colonial Mexico had very large
cattle-raising estates and soon the indigenous people known as
vaqueros became excellent horsemen. Smaller landholders, known as
rancheros or ranchers, were the first genuine charros and they are
credited as the inventors of the charreada. The charro's elaborate
costume and trappings reflect the merging of three distinct cultures that
create the Mexican cowboy: Arabian, Spanish and indigenous American.
Gentleman cowboys adorned their trousers with silver buttons down the
heavily embroidered outside seams. The short jackets and wide-brim,
cone- shaped hats were trimmed in a likewise fashion. Today it has
become a national sport a multi-colored spectacle.
Mariachi
It has become synonymous of joy, music and party. The mariachi costume
is famous worldwide. Traditional mariachi include guitars the vihuela, a
high-pitched, round-backed guitar which provides rhythm, and a bass
guitar called a guitarrn, violins and trumpets. The mariachis use the
charro outfit, usually in black with silver-colored buttons and chains
running down their pants legs and up their vests, and with the
unmistakable large Mariachi hat.
Although there is still much controversy, it seems that this type of musical
ensembles were originated in north of the state, in the region of Los Altos
de Jalisco. Most legends put the origin of the modern mariachi in the town
of Cocula.
The word mariachi was thought to have derived from the French word
mariage" (marriage) dating from the French Intervention in Mexico in the
1860s. The origin of the word is still in dispute but most of the prominent
theories state that it has indigenous roots.
In Guadalajara, you may see them playing in a restaurant or bar, or in the
traditional Mariachi Plaza, and of course in the famous Parian in
Tlaquepaque.
Tequila
It is a distilled beverage made from blue agave plant, primarily in the area
surrounding the town of Tequila. It is the most popular and representative
beverage of Mexico in the world. The name tequila is a controlled
denomination of origin, recognized internationally.
Tequila is usually bottled in one of five categories:
Blanco ("white") also known as "silver", un-aged and bottled or stored
immediately after distillation.
Reposado ("rested"), aged a minimum of two months, but less than a year
in oak barrels. It is softer than white, has a golden color and its flavor has
a hint of oak.
Aejo ("aged" or "vintage"), aged a minimum of one year, but less than
three years in small white oak barrels. The color ranges from gold to dark
amber strong, its taste is strongly impregnated with wood. If it has been
aged for at least three years, can be considered Extra Aejo ("extra aged"
or "ultra aged").
The agave landscape and the ancient industrial facilities of Tequila have
now been inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List.

Zapopan
Zapopan is the second most populous municipality in the state of Jalisco
and ranks seventh in Mexico. The name Zapopan comes from the
Nahuatl word tzapotl which means among sapote trees. It is known for
its architecture, museums, premier shopping centers, major
entertainment venues and for having some of the best hotels in the
metropolitan area of Guadalajara. Zapopan also has natural outdoor
attractions like El Diente and the Bosque de La Primavera (Forest of the
Spring), among others.
Annually, a large procession in the image of Our Lady of the
Conceptions honor takes place on the 12th of October. Starting at 6 am,
the image is carried on the streets from the Guadalajara Cathedral to the
Basilica of Zapopan. The streets, including the wide avenue of Manuel
Avila Camacho in Zapopan proper, are packed with dancers, vendors
selling traditional food and crafts and spectators. The Basilica of
Zapopan is considered the third most important pilgrimage center in the
country.

deeply forested canyon walls.

cent of the lakes area, and Michoacan, which contains the remaining 14
per cent. The Lake is about 78 kilometers (50 miles) long from east to west
with a maximum north-south width of about 20 kilometers (12.5 miles). It is
located 48 km southeast from Guadalajara.
Chapala has become a tourist haven for the beauty of its landscapes, its
typical kitchen, but mostly because the lake is surrounded by typical
Mexican villages. In addition, the destination is nominated by National
Geographic as the 2nd Best Climate in the World, temperatures here are
pretty pleasant all year round, andeven betterwith no extreme highs
and lows with an average temperatues of the 70s and 80s F.

leisure activities for residents and visitors, such as: walking, hiking, sailing,
water skiing, golf, tennis and horseback riding among others.

workshops in the area. Antiques, furniture, tapestries, glassware, lamps,
wrought-iron furniture, masks, pottery, jewelry, art and handcrafts of all
kinds are sold here. In fact, the Lake Chapala area is fast becoming the
region's supplier of quality crafts.
Along the lake there are several villages like: Chapala, famous for the
production of textiles; Ajijic with a rustic atmosphere and a unique
community of artists; Chula Vista and San Juan Cosala, famous for its
beautiful hot springs and spas.
Inside the lake is the Scorpion Island with delicious restaurants and
Mescala Island called The Presidio for its fortified building used by
insurgents in the final stage of the War of Independence, whose ruins still
preserved Renaissance.
In this picturesque lake there are two islands, one known as the Island of
the Scorpions (for its shape), where besides the scenery, you can also

second island known as Mezcala or Isla Presidio, is a national monument
that boasts magnificent ruins of an old fort where Mexican forces fought the
Spaniards.

Archaeological Sites
El Ixtpete o Iztepete
It is located south of the municipality of Zapopan. The area is protected
as an ecological park of 5 hectares, but it is thought that the total area
of the settlement was even bigger.
The site contains a Teotihuacan style pyramid which is twenty meters
long, sixteen meters wide and 1.83 meters high. Construction phases
of this pyramid date back from the 5th century to the 10th century.

important ceremonial center, with three circular pyramids - the type of
constructions made by Guachimontones - and monumental Shaft
Tombs. The tombs are often found in groups, archaeologists have
placed some of the tombs as early a 900 AD. The depths of the shafts
from the surface range from 4.6 meters (15 ft.) to more than 15 meters
(50 ft.). In the tomb shown above, there are three large compartments
connected by tunnels. The tombs were made for members of the chiefly
lineage.
In Etzatln there is also El Palacio de Ocomo, another of Western
Mexico's unique archaeological sites, is one of the biggest tecpans
(palaces) of the ancient Mexico, it has 125 meters for side, and it is
