The three beautiful waterfalls of Los Azules are described in Chapter 11. Did you know they are only a 20-minute walk from the town of Tequila?

Around 10,000 pelicans gather daily to feed at Petatán at the west end of Lake Chapala. Read all about them in Chapter 17.

Primavera Interpretive Trail

The Primavera Forest Interpretive Trail is two kilometers long and suitable for the whole family (Chapter 19).

This spire is located at Villa Felicidad, just east of the town of Tala, where you will find all kinds of weirdly shaped rocks as well as the enchanting Río de las Ánimas, River of Ghosts.

El Col

Panoramic vista from the top of Cerro El Col, near Santa Lucia, where you can appreciate a 360-degree view of the nearby countryside.

For an unusual experience, try camping next to the geysers of Los Hervores, located near Presa de la Vega and described in Chapter 13.

Chapter 24 presents UMA Agua Blanca, featuring bird watching, hiking, camping and a beautifully preserved circular pyramid (Guachimontón), two thousand years old.
