But this is Old Mexico. It is not the resorts, and that must be kept in mind. Mexico Adventure has now teamed with a popular local tour group that offers retirement tours of the Lake Chapala area. Meet gringos who have retired here, take a real estate tour, meet doctors and immigration officials and have all of your questions about safety, drinking the water, buying real estate, paying taxes and more answered. Travel in a small group led by trained American guides.
Tours are monthly.
For more information, prices and dates, please contact us . Lake Chapala, located 30 miles south of Guadalajara, is Mexico's largest lake, roughly 55 miles long and 15 miles wide. Today, Lake Chapala beckons to retirees, artists and craftsmen. Ajijic, a town of about 5,000 people, is the area's centerpiece. Cobblestone streets and spectacular gardens hidden behind hand-carved wooden gates and colorful walls contribute to its charm.
