Thanks for the kind words! And thank you for watching
Thanks for this informative video, especially about the LCS. I will be heading your way soon, and will definitely use your service…
Great! check out the free guide mexicorelocationguide.com/living-in-mexico/
Very nicely done. Would love to see more comparisons with other popular cities or towns. For example, Mexico city and Guadalajara etc.
Thanks for tuning in 😀
This was a beautiful video. I would like to see San Antonio and Jocotepec. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great information 👍🏼
Gracias!
Very good video. I’ve been a member at LCS for 3.5 years. Thanks for showcasing this beautiful place which also serves the Mexican community.
Chapala is 👍🇲🇽. I’ve uploaded 100’s of videos all over Lakeside and make personal contributions to the communities there. A great place
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love to retire here, perfect for me.(1).
I was wondering if you could do a video on both Puerto Morales and Puerto Vallarta which I heard are both beautiful and close to the beach.
I’ll take it as feedback 😀
I would love to see Merida.
That video is coming soon!!! 😀
I would like your relocation guide.

We chose Chapala over Ajijic. We didn't have a car so we bought electric bikes. So easy to get everywhere in Chapala!
I would love to get an electric bike! Thanks for sharing
Great video! Question - if Chapala is only 6 miles from Ajijic, why would it take 20 mins to drive there?
Because there is very heavy traffic
@@MexicoRelocationGuide Now that we’ve visited there, I totally understand!!! WOW, that’s really a bottleneck!!
can you also show the surrounding area of ajijic thank you
Coming up soo ! Stay tuned
If you live in Chapala and drive to Ajijic, are there places to park.? Many seniors have health problems which prohibit long walks.
Yes there are parking places. Ou may have to drive a while to find one but there are plenty of spaces
Although walking is best in Ajijic
Wow, those rentals in Ajijic are really high. But, I guess you pay for the climate, and having all the other American and Canadian expats living next to you. I personally wouldn't adapt to a place like that. In many ways it sounds like a lot of places in the south of Spain (Torremolinos, Estepona, Marbella) although there the expats are British and not American. Many don't speak a word of Spanish and don't even need to.
Ajijic isn't for everyone. Lots of places in Mexico that are more authentically Mexican too.
The same way that Ajijic is attractive for the large expat community.
There's something for everyone in Mexico
My wife and I were down there recently and kept hearing a bird that had a loud yelp...almost like a loud single child cry. That sound is mimicked by us when we are trying to find each other at the supermarket 😅. It has stayed in our heads for years after we left chapala. Unfortunately, we never found out what the bird is called or looked like. It was usually heard by us when we were near the mountains coming from the jungle area. Any idea what this bird is named?
Sorry I don't know
Would I be able to find a rental under 500.00 US in Lake Chapala?
It all depends on a few things:
Technically yes , in Chapala. Probably not in Ajijic
But what do you want in a rental?
Is a 1 bedroom enough for you?
Do you need running hot water on every sink?
What time of the year are you going to rent in?
These are some examples of the questions you have to ask yourself to determine if you’d want to be in a $500 Usd/ month rental in Chapala
Thank you, things to consider
Is it possible to find 1 bedroom rentals in Chapala for $250 USD per month?
Possible yes. But it might take you longer because that’s probably a small inventory. It might also not be an entire condo or casita it might be a studio
In the USA 2 1/2 bedrooms with a family room, one bath-R is only $750 per month.
Really where?
gone up to $2,000 a month in central FL
Where in the USA? In California over $3000 defending on the area
Yes where?
The streets in Ajijic are so narrow you can have your wing mirror ripped off on telephone poles. Speaking from experience.
I have lived here for 5 years. I don't know of anyone who have broken their ankles.
I think your mentioning that many women have broken their ankles is very negative and would put off people who would otherwise consider this area.
Do you actually have any statistics on this issue ?
Otherwise, it was a nice video.
You can ask around- it's a common thing.
I’ve lived here 14 years. While I don’t know anyone who’s broken an ankle I know of one person who broke their shoulder and three others who are missing teeth from falling while walking those picturesque cobbled streets.
Mask outside OMG
Having recently visited this area, I can say that it is boring at best, and a lot of it is backward and falling apart! Nothing is worth the effort involved in getting there.
That’s ok- lake Chapala isn’t for everyone
Adios
you speaking way too low
You may need to raise your volume 😀
They're very attached to their masks there, even outside?! Wow, so paranoid.
You do you boo
