Jocotepec

About Jocotepec

Jocotepec is situated on the western end of the north shore of Lake Chapala. Renown for Driscoll Berry Farms, a major exporter of organically grown raspberries, blackberries and strawberries to US, Canada and Europe. And very popular with locals who know where to get the best berries! As in nearly all Mexican villages, a large central plaza anchors the community. Plenty of iron benches for townspeople to sit and this plaza is always active, especially on the weekends when families come out for their evening stroll. Under arches, restaurants and shops line three sides of the plaza. In this bustling, vibrant town, civic pride reigns high. Jocotepec has been experiencing a renaissance of sorts, through renovations, fresh paint, new plants, roads, traffic redesign, plus a new highway & by-pass to Guadalajara. The newest addition is the boardwalk (malecon) that runs along the shoreline with a park & picnic area. For those who want to live in a truly Mexican village, Jocotepec has much to offer and North Americans are just beginning to discover it! A widened highway to Guadalajara is underway, making it easier & faster to get to all the major shopping and amenities of the city
