Mexico’s second-largest and “most Mexican city” is also the birthplace of tequila. You can find more than 200 varieties here, from the humblest family recipe to gourmet bottles with exotic ingredients. Guadalajara is also a city of legendary nightlife, complete with the stirring rhythms of mariachi music, which also originated here. In addition to fabulous nightlife, the city’s mild mountain climate is ideal for family vacations, with an excellent zoo, children's amusement parks, rodeos and many celebrations and festivals throughout the year. The favorable climate also makes for a true golfer's paradise, with five 18-hole and three 9-hole courses in the city area, affording plenty of challenge and adventure.
