Late in August, in the second stage of the development project for this town in the Lake Chapala Real Estate area, officials opened the San Juan Cosalá boardwalk in Jocotepec, which cost seven million pesos, of which three million 875 thousand were provided by the State Government .

Jocotepec lies on the western end of the Lake Chapala Real Estate area. The town is very historical, with its original settlement dating to 1361 when the area was first established by Nahua Indians.

For many years, Jocotepec was a stop on the stagecoach line between Guadalajara and Mexico City.

As a beautiful rustic village, Jocotepec appeals to visitors and residents alike, and offers a large variety of handicrafts, including hand-woven, flower-patterned sarapes. This area of Lake Chapala Real Estate ...
