Tapalpa. Located 130 km (81 mi) southwest of Guadalajara off Highway 54. This is one of the most beautiful towns in southern Jalisco, as it has preserved many of the old characteristics of the state’s ancient farming and agricultural communities. This area is ideal to do exciting activities such as paintball, as it offers a range with trenches, safety netting and all the other necessary services. In addition, you can do hang gliding here; Tapalpa hosts one of the world’s most important hang gliding tournaments. Another option is mountain biking, as it provides some of the best routes you’ll find outside of Guadalajara. Source:visitmexico.com |
