  • Lake Chapala Mexico is referred to as the best place to retire in Mexico. But Lake Chapala, Lago de Chapala, is much more than the best place to move to in Mexico. Lake Chapala is home to many cities, like Chapala where we are going to be exploring Lake Chapala from today.
    In this Mexico travel vlog, we The Country Collectors, are going to show you what to do in Chapala, que hacer en el Lago de Chapala, and on Lake Chapala. Lake Chapala Jalisco Mexico is Mexico’s largest lake and in Chapala you can walk along the Chapala Malecon and admire Lago de Chapala from its shores. You can also take a boat trip in Chapala to Isla de las Alacranes, or Scorpion Island. On Sundays in Chapala Mexico you will find a big party down in Chapala on the Chapala Malecon - it’s a great day to visit Lake Chapala Mexico.
    We hope you enjoy this Mexico Vlog, Travel vlog and are learning and experiencing a lot through our Mexico travel videos. We think Lake Chapala Mexico is worth a visit and makes for the best day trip from Guadalajara.

    You're right, Mexicans are a lot of fun and really know how to have a good time.
    Culturally Mexico is so unique in the world. There's really nothing like it and yet it's so close to the United States.
    Someday we may make it to Lake Chapala via Guadalajara. There's just so much to choose from in this incredible country.

    Great video, guys. I spent two years living in Ajijic and Riberas del Pilar, and visited Chapala many times. I always regretted not visiting Scorpion Island but I had no idea there was so much on the island. I miss the great weather and the wonderful culture, but most of all I miss the amazing local people. SO warm and friendly. I am filled with regret that the new income requirements mean that I cannot return to the place I loved. I look forward to your next video in Ajijic.

      @@sgold1132 There are no income requirements for an FMM -- essentially a tourist visa that can be up to 180 days. However, if you want to apply for temporary or permanent residency, you will have to meet certain financial requirements, proving that you will not become a burden on Mexico. Thesse requirements can change every ytear, and they are somewhat dependant on which consulate you apply through.

    When they're out enjoying a Sunday with the family they're dominqueando.

    Quaint little AirBnb. Oh my God! A full chicken, with tortilla and all those fruits! Mmm Huevos Rancheros. Very simple too, a lot of Mexican Restaurants here in Texas add so much more toppings. Love all the architecture as usual. That is a massive lake! Do they say what is contaminating the lake? Lol this brings back memories of when one of my buddies paid a random guy outside a club in LA to tase him. What a fun water adventure. Kind of nice to have the boat all to yourself. You guys always meet some amazing people. Scorpion Island was so cool. Epic drop fail! So much going on in this town. The music, the food, the culture, I love it.

    • @TheCountryCollectors

    There are certain parts of the lake where it’s perfectly safe to swim and eat the fish from but it’s farther down from the main town. My great grandmother lived in a small Pueblo about 15 min from the main part of the town her entire life, eating the fish from the lake and even swimming in it. She lived to be 104 years old. They usually don’t fish at the part where you’re at. My parents are actually there right now at our house that has a nice panoramic view of the lake and we just made it 2 story, so it’s even more of a view now.
