Enjoy The History Of Guadalajara Through These Sightseeing Tours

From the 17th-century barrios to the monuments at Plaza de la Liberacion, these sightseeing tours offer a firsthand look at Guadalajara’s history and culture.

Guadalajara was officially established in 1542, meaning the Mexican city is filled with culture and history. There’s the Hospicio Cabañas, which features 57 fresco murals by the political artist José Clemente Orozco, and the legendary landmarks and monuments in Guadalajara’s colonial downtown area. Even Lake Chapala (Lago de Chapala), while not traditionally a historical site, offers useful information that will lead to a deeper understanding of the city’s culture and an opportunity to learn about the ways nature has shaped the world of man.
