Thanks for your kind remarks, I’m you liked it.
Hopefully you can come and visit us soon.

+Desmond22
I agree :-)
Loved this! Made me smile! I stayed for one month in 2009 in Ajijic, but have heard Jocotepec is more quaint and laid back. I'll be nearing retirement in 6 yrs and think it will be a snowbird destination for me. Can't wait!!
+Tamara P Thanks for watching and your interest in Jocotepec.
Que lindo Hermoso es Mexico. Absolutly fantastic. Love You Mexico
👍
We have a list of possible places to move to permanently, and Jocotopec is now on our list of definitely must go and explore. THANK YOU for the information and the warm invitations.

Nicely done! Thank you. Now I’d love to come and see those artisans at work.
Thank you :-) And yes, you can still see those artisans in their original shops with original tools!.
Outstanding video! The best of all the videos done on lakeside communities. A great mix of people, history and culture. Curious if you can recommend any videos done on Guadalajara.
As an amateur video creator I really appreciate your compliment!
Sorry I am not familiar with any good videos about Guadalajara.
Take care. Miguel
Very beautiful video. Thanks for the info. New subscriber.

Come on down!
Xoco,quiere decir,agrio,ácido en lengua Náhuatl,el idioma de los Aztecas y de los Meshicas, (a los Aztecas, su dios Huitzilopochtli les ordenó en 1168 D C de dejar de nombrarse Aztecas,el nuevo nombre que les dió fué MESHICAS ) y Tepetl quiere decir,motanaña,ó colina,así que Xoco- Tepetl se traduce como "colina de frutos ácidos" (ésto me lo dijo la profesora Catalina Valencia cuando yo, éra su alumno en la secundaria,Profesora Magdalena Cuevas en 1967) cuando los Aztecas (Azteca es un gentilicio, aplicable a una persona nacida en AZTLAN "El Lugar de la Blancura") abandonaron Aztlan su lugar de origen en 1064 D C a causa de un "evento catastrófico" éran 7 tribus,las cuales usaron 3 rios para escapar de un volcan que estaba en proceso de formación,el volcan "The Sunset Crater" que se ubica a 20 millas (aproximadamente ) al noreste de la ciudad de Flagstaff en Arizona, llegaron al Golfo de California en 1074 (aproximadamente) siguen avanzando hacia el sur,por las orillas del Océao Pacífico,pasan por el territorio que ahora es Sonora,Sinaloa, y Nayarit,al llegar a la actual población de Santiago Itzcuintla en Nayarit,se encuentran con un río que descarga su caudal de agua en el Oceano pacífico,(proveniente del lago de Chapala,
las 7 tribus Aztecas síguen este río hacia el Este y los lleva hasta el lago de Chapala,donde las 7 tribus se reparten el territorio alrededor del lago formando asentamientos,(Cuevas) que pasaron a ser los actuales pueblos de; Ocotlan,Chapala,Ajijic,Jocotepec,Soyatlan,Tuxcueca y Tizapan y nombran este gran asentamiento como; CHICOMOZTOC (chicome es el número 7 de los Aztecas y Ostoc significa "Cueva" así que Chicomoztoc significa "El Lugar de las 7 Cuevas"
que ha estado perdido por 907 años,la estancia de las tribus en ése lugar fué de solamente nueve años (La Crónica Mexicayotl) esta información es la teoría que desarroyé,basada en 10 años de contínua investigación de los códices Azteca-Meshica que se pueden consultar en el sítio de internet de la UNAM y por la información que recibí en 1963 de un descendiente Azteca octogenário que decidió revelarme este secreto,para no llevárselo a la tumba,el descanza en Paz en el Cementério de Jocotepec,yo, guardé este secreto por 55 años,pero en el 2008 al ver el dibujo representativo de Chicomoztoc en la internet,comprendí que mi amigo "Tecuamoh"
me había dicho la verdad porque pensé que no era verdad y ahí comenzó mi investigación,la cual cuento en detalle en mi libro ASENTAMIENTOS PERDIDOS DE LOS AZTECAS que se está distribuyendo por www.amazon.com y está recibiendo calificación de 5 estrellas!! lo máximo!! pueden ver en youtube.com el video Exloración Azteca,que hizo History Channel,en donde un antropólogo Hopi,cuenta casi la misma história! saludos,séamos parte de este gran descubrimiento,corramos la voz,yo nací en una de las "Cuevas de Chicomoztoc " en Xoco-Tepetl (Jocotepec) y tu? Afectuosos saludos para todos los Jocotepences, en especial para la generación, de 1967-1969 de la Secundária Magdalena Cuevas!!
I loved this video! Did not know much @ all about Jocotepec until now, after watching this video. Hey, the people in this video have welcomed me so now, I don't want to disappoint them... I'll be visiting soon. Once this Covid-19 ("Corona") virus pandemic is over. I believe many stores and eateries are closed right now. Thereafter, I am looking forwards to this opportunity. Gracias!
I am so glad you enjoyed the video and learned from it, and thank you for the great feedback! Hope to see you there amigo.
is the market open daily? any updates since 4 years ago when this video was made?
The town market is open daily and so are most convenience store.
No significant changes, not even the Mayor
.
Good job. We did a travel vlog series called Show and Tell on my channel about a family living in Jocotepec Jalisco before they moved to Akumal. They talked about the pros and cons but loved Jocotepec WAY MORE than Ajiji.
Thanks for your comment amigo.
Salud y saludos.
Loved your video & Jocotepec looks wonderful. I’m waiting for the borders to open once COVID is under control in the US & cannot wait to tour Lake Chapala towns & possibly never go back! Thank you for this video 😊☮️💖
Thanks for tour feedback 😀
I don’t know where you live but there is no problem traveling to Mexico from US and back by air, I do it every few weeks.
Hope to see you in Joco sometime.
Miguel
beautiful faces all of you...u go well with the place
+Adriana Manjarrez thank you 😊
Thank you for video !
I have a cousins and aunt who live there
Hopefully I can visit soon .
+Eric Gutierrez
Thanks Eric, I am sure you will enjoy it.

Saludos amigo, cuando guste lo esperamos.
Living without a car and being safe?!?!
I’m on my way.
+Elaine McMurren 😊
Yo trabaje de Chico anunciando las peliculas del cine en Jocotepec que tenia Don Manuel Chavoya y Dona Conchita, es Usted familiar de ellos Miguel Cha.Gra.?? Saludos desde Las Vegas Nev.
+Miguel Mora
Buen día tocayo.
Don Manuel Chavoya y Micaela Corona son mis abuelos y operaban el Cine Jocotepec, y doña Conchita era la competencia del cine Juarez en la plaza.
Saludos.
A mira que cosas, gracias por orientarme de esa confucion, a mi me mandaban despues de anunciar las peliculas a traerles "Sopes" y por anunciar me pagaban 3 pesos, Usted es Hijo de Raul Chavoya?
+Miguel Mora
Soy hijo de Rodolfo Chavoya.
Tu niñez en Joco suena tan divertida como la mía :-)
Ha, pues fue un gustazo saludarlo y ojala que cuando yo vaya para Jocotepec un dia pueda conocerlo en persona, hasta luego, Saludos.
My return trip to relocate in Chapala has been delayed due to the Corona 19 virus. This brings tears to my eyes, what I experienced in Ajijic and Chapala lines up with all that was spoken of in this wonderful video. Now, I must spend time in Joco, before settling down in Chapala. My future roommate has walking challenges, are the side walks better in Joco than Ajijic or Chapala? Did they ever set hours limiting the times for loud explosions in Joco? There were weeks in Ajijic that cannon like BOOMS would go off late in the night and early in the morning beginning in November but going into January. In Chapala the second floor apartment was a block away from the church bells that rang at 7am, 7:15am and 7:30am, plus any other hour that celebrated one of the almost weekly celebrations. For me, I said they were celebrating life long before I arrived, it is Their Country, and the Mexicans have been gracious to allow me to be there. So, I won't complain. I loved it and look forward to returning.
Thank you Joy for your comment. Since Covid-19 I have heard pactically no exploding rockets, and I understand a federal law now limits the qualtity and sound levels , with luck they will never return.
@@MiguelChaGra Thanks for the kind reply.
I always do 😁
i just came back (1st time) from Vallarta. I wanted to go to Guad this time but it was too hot. Next trip. Is there a bus that goes from Guad to Jocotepec and Aijjic? Thanks for this video
+Sandy Lee
Yes Sandy, there is a bus about every hour from Guadalajara to Jocotepec, costs two to three dollars. It departs feom the “old” bus terminal then passes by Plaza del Sol. From Joco there are buses to Ajijic.
Glad you enjoyed the video.
I'm on my way. Now, I think I must drive a u-haul for about $750 because I have two dogs. I cant find any place that will allow me to travel with two dogs. The airlines are all freaked out about dogs now, after a few poor pups have died. And Amtrak only goes to Tijuana. The Greyhound only allows one dog. So it looks like I must drive. I dont own a car and I would pay just as much to rent a car as to drive a uhaul. Huh? Any insight out there? Can I drive straight to Jocotepec?
what are your fav restaurants and spots to eat?
+Gianna Giavelli La Carreta Stakehouse is my favorite, on Hidalgo St. south of the church.
+Gianna Giavelli also goat BBQ at Birrieria Mary on the north rdge of the plaza or Birria El Tartamudo on the east edge.
Just found your video, we were looking at ajijic but looks like Joco is more laid back. Being isolated as you are, what is the percentage of COVID cases in your area? We are so anxious to take the trip but we are hesitant because of the virus.
Ajijic is more “American” style living, but Joco is definitely more laid back. As for the Covid pandemic, Joco had no cases many months into the crisis, but the most recent unofficial count is less than 100 cases and 8 deaths, all were diabetics.
Thanks for your comment and hope to see you in Jocotepec.
Hi I have a question I’m moving to jocotepc with my family but I have kids and I was wondering if there was bilingual schools for them
Hello Nancy, and thanks for your interest.
So I may prpperly investigate it for you, what school level do your children require?
Miguel Cha Gra thank you I really appreciate it third grade and first grade
The Instituto Loyola (among a few others) in the neighboring town of Ajijic (about 10 miles from Jocotepec) provides elementary level classes in english. My sister and I were about that age when we moved there, we attended school in spanish, and in a mere six months we were fighting in that language :-). We never forgot english as we continued speaking it with our mother. I hope this information helps and good day.@@Calilovenanicastro
Miguel Cha Gra thank you every much my kids know every little Spanish and I was looking for school over there we’re they could speak Both languages a every beautiful place to live I’m so excited fo this new chapter in our lives
+Nancy Castro you are welcome. Perhaps we will meet at the plaza some day. Safe travel.
Most of the times people listen what the other people said about bad things!!, no, just come to visit Jocotepec and will see the type of life in this area, from Jocotepec thru Chapala there are thousands of US and Canada citizens living a life in peace and happy.
Well said Ramon!
Mexican revolution was 1910 not 1810 that's war of Independence
+Adriana Manjarrez
Oops, my mouth got ahead of my brain! I do have 1910 written in the script, good catch and thanks for the correction.
El topo!
Quien es el?
Hi, I have been looking for a place where I can spend part of the year, how would I go about renting a small place for myself. Hablo espanol pero no muy bien. Gracias
+el viego
Hello amigo.

Suerte amigo.
Yo visito cada año Joco y mi video tiene mas de 1,300 vistas......te invito a ver mis videos de playas, ranchos, pueblos etc etc etc.....
Gracias amiga, le hecharé ojo a su canal. Salud y saludos.
A todo les entendi menos al precidente jajaja.😂 Habla muy rapido. Y pusieron un cancha de golf en joco?
+Victor Hernandez Gracias por su comentario amigo.
Al parecer el campo de golf mas cercano a Jocotepec está en Chapala, a unos 23km/14mi. Saludos
Too bad the gringos can't pronounce Jocotepec correctly even then they live there.
Hello Pat. For some it may be simple lack of effort but in general it is just the common pronunciation. I have a friend that speaks english and spanish at native level without an accent in either, yet when he speaks english he pronounces many or most spanish words gringo style. Thanks for the comment.
Exactly. I think it’s disrespectful to live somewhere for so long and not learn the language. Worst yet to tote that as a benefit of living there. Very thoughtless and entitled.
@@mmh4607 Yeah I know , reminds me of the Mexicans , mostly illegals here in my country the USA, lol..😂👋✌
@@mmh4607 hmmm. People move to the US from other countries and never learn English. This bothers some people greatly. It doesn’t bother me one bit. It doesn’t hurt me in any way. I say live and let live. I do think a persons experience would be better if they could freely communicate with locals, but I don’t judge.
