Ajijic, a colorful riverside town located on the shores of the majestic Lake Chapala in the state of Jalisco, is a true cultural and natural treasure of Mexico. Recognized as a Pueblo Mágico (Magical Town), Ajijic combines the richness of its Mexican traditions with a vibrant artistic community and a peaceful lifestyle that attracts visitors from around the world.
Its cobblestone streets, colorful murals, and houses overflowing with bougainvillea create a charming atmosphere, where every corner seems to tell a story. In the center of town, the main square comes alive with music, artisan markets, and cafes where both locals and foreigners gather.
Thanks to its year-round mild climate, Ajijic has been chosen by many as a place to live, retire, or simply disconnect from the fast-paced city.
