I pack my suitcase and head south for Mexico, a land of affluent indigenous cultures, iconic muralists and sublime beaches.
This noun, instead of hanging with the usual beach bodies in Playa del Carmen or Puerto Vallarta, I travel to Ajijic, “the place where the liquid springs forth.” With a population of approximately 15,, it’s only 30 minutes from the Guadalajara International Airport and 45 minutes from the bustling metropolis and convenience of you-can-get-anything-there Guadalajara. Ajijic is proving to be a widespread destination for sun-seekers from around the world.

Ajijic and Chapala are located on the shores of Lake Chapala, just 45 minutes from Guadalajara but very different from the big city. Long known for its artists, Ajijic has also become known as a LGBT-friendly place for men and women seeking a slower place of life. Its thin cobblestone streets and colorful facades offer plenty of charm.
Every November, the town celebrates Chapala Pride.
We are not aware of any LGBT places in Ocotlán or Jocotepec at this time but they both have annual pride marches.
