Overview

If you’re visiting Guadalajara, you're likely to hear talk about this beloved little town, right on the city's doorstep! Tlaquepaque is one of the nation's cherished "magical pueblos," recognized for its role in the country's independence, architecture, cultural charm, and a relaxing ambience.

With a long history of fame as the home of artisans who have produced some of the finest craftsmanship Mexico has to offer, Tlaquepaque presents a storybook backdrop to a unique experience. This is not a drive-by tour and it's not a shopping trip! We get up close with fascinating explanations and stories about historical sites, works of public art, and museum exhibits. Our walking tour has been vetted for quality by the local Office of Tourism and Tlaquepaque's Historic Committee. The town is situated between the airport and Guadalajara’s historic center, so only 30 minutes from both. A visit is the perfect day trip!

San Pedro Tlaquepaque Municipality

The main attractions of this beloved magic pueblo are all found within approximately 8 square blocks. Our walking tour starts in Independence Street, a favorite destination for multi-generational Mexican families. It's lined with former mansions, impressive sculptures , and historic buildings. We´ll visit the Regional Ceramics Museum where you can see the work of some of the potters who have made Tlaquepaque internationally famous for its artisanal excellence. We stop at El Refugio, a former hospital and now the town's cultural center. Hear the ghost stories! We stroll through beautiful Hidalgo Garden and we walk to the nearby Parish and Sanctuary. Our last stop is at the famous El Parian, Latin America's largest cantina with a fascinating history all its own.
