Lake Chapala, Mexico
Pictures

This photo was taken from the tour boat on Lake Chapala, Mexico. We were coming back from an expediton of one of our favorite Lake Chapala boat tours, of Scorpion Island, (one of the tours offered on Lake Chapala).

Chapala is one of the top retirement spots in Mexico and you'll soon find out why!

Are you interested in retiring in Mexico? Before you do prepare yourself for what awaits you! Read up on my review of the book 50 Things You Must Know Before You Travel To Mexico. This book is jam packed full of tips and helpful advice on making the move! Check out my review here.

Here is a closer shot of Lake Chapala. These yellow towers of the San Francisco church remind me of the Guadalajara Cathedral towers, only smaller. It must be the bright yellow color.

Here is a beautiful view from the pier on Lake Chapala. Look at those lovely mountains in the background. The purple spots you see are the Jacaranda trees. Check out all the Lirio (water hyacinth) in the water. It may look pretty but this stuff wreaks havoc on the poor fishermans' boats. It is constantly getting stuck in the propellers.
