Looking for Ajijic weather and location information for upcoming travels? Those who travel to this paradise, on a latitude with Hawaii, can expect to want for nothing. A mere thirty-four miles from Guadalajara, Ajijic is positioned close enough to the big city to benefit from easy travel while feeling worlds away.
A pleasant drive up the mountainside reveals a lakeside village with a near-perfect climate, less than an hour from Guadalajara’s airport. At 5,000 feet elevation, protected by surrounding mountains and Mexico’s largest freshwater lake, Ajijic benefits from average daily temperatures of 72 – 75°F (22- 24°C) and enjoys sunshine even in the rainy season from June through October.
Due to the sub-tropical climate the rainy season is a lovely time to be in Ajijic. The rain falls mostly in the evenings and night, surrendering days to sunshine and a sparkling town. The hillsides are green and lush, and the rain is a welcome change to the warm month of May. The region offers a semi-arid climate making the hotter months not humid at all and more suited for prolonged summer days exploring. Ajijic typically experiences lows around 50°F during cooler months (December through February). This unique climate produces a vibrant year-round display of flora and fauna that colors the town in a constant riot of reds, oranges, and greens.
Nearby Guadalajara
The second-largest city in Mexico and the capital seat of the state of Jalisco, Guadalajara, is Ajijic’s sprawling urban counterpart. The historic city is dotted with colonial plazas, gold-spired churches and neo-classical architecture. There are many large, air-conditioned indoor and outdoor shopping malls that feature familiar and high-end stores. For finer arts, Teatro Degollado Ópera House offers symphony and opera seasons along with performances of the Ballet Folklorico. Many guests plan a day or weekend trip to take in the city before arriving in more peaceful Ajijic. A not-to-be-missed destination is Tlaquepaque with its boulevards of galleries, ceramics, pottery and mariachi. We are happy to arrange private day trips to the City Centre or charming Tlaquepaque.
