What are the must-do activities in Chapala when I'm not on the course?
Chapala is all about the tranquil lake life and vibrant expat community. We suggest exploring the charming lakeside towns of Ajijic and Chapala, browsing local art galleries, or taking a boat trip on Lake Chapala itself. The local markets are also fantastic for unique souvenirs and delicious street food.
