NATURE ESCAPE.
If you’re looking to cool off in the shade of adventure, consider visiting one of the nature reserves located both within the city and in the surrounding areas.
If you’re planning a getaway to enjoy the forest, TapalpaorMazamitla are ideal for a weekend trip, located just 2 hours from Guadalajara.
These small towns, with their welcoming atmosphere and more pleasant weather than the city during this season, offer activities like outdoor hiking, trail walking, horseback riding, motorcycle tours, or simply the pleasure of doing nothing while you take in the scenery from the shade.
And if your way of beating the heat is a refreshing dip, you can visit the Huaxtla Waterfalls, located just 40-50 minutes from Guadalajara. This hidden gem is perfect for hiking enthusiasts and those looking to connect with nature. It’s the perfect spot to escape the heat.
If you prefer to stay put and enjoy the calm offered by the city's green lungs, we recommend spending a full day at the Bosque de la Primavera, Colomos, or Parque Metropolitano, where you can enjoy and plan outdoor activities. You can bring your pets, invite your friends, take the family, or simply unplug and enjoy the moment on your own.
