Lake Chapala, Mexico
Lake Chapala is Mexico’s largest lake, and the surrounding area is also home to the largest concentration of expats in the world. Located in west-central Mexico, about an hour south of Guadalajara, the Lake Chapala region sustains approximately 20,000 expats, most from the U.S. and Canada, and the vast majority are retired. That number roughly doubles during the cold Canadian winter months, when thousands more migrate to the area for about six months each year.
Two quaint towns, Chapala and Ajijic (ah-hee-heek) support most of the expat population, with Ajijic holding the edge when it comes to numbers. Both communities are nestled along the lake’s shoreline and separated by only a few miles.
Lake Chapala itself is actually a volcanic crater lake or caldera. Geothermal activity still provides plenty of steam and hot water which has been accessed by a large, commercial bath and spa located on the shore between the two communities. Numbers of pools of hot water, naturally heated by the geothermal activity, provide for natural relaxation against a stunning outdoor backdrop of mountains on one side and Lake Chapala on the other.
