let the sun shine
Bring sunscreen for your face and body, a large hat or visor, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the midday sun.
The Lake Chapala and Ajijic area is at the same latitude as Maui and has an elevation of one mile. In height the sun is closer and quite intense. Because the temperature is so mild here, visitors to Ajijic don’t realize they need sun protection just like they do on the beach. With more than 360 sunny days every year, sunburn is a real possibility, and no fun on any vacation. So come prepared to protect yourself even if the weather is so nice.
These comfortable shoes are made for walking.
Cobbled streets and good walking shoes go hand in hand, or in this case, standing. Walking through the town of Ajijic is the best way to see all the secret gardens and find those special shops and galleries. There is nothing more beautiful than a walk through the town of Ajijic that includes walking along our beautiful Lake Chapala. Even with the best walking shoes, you need to watch where you step on uneven sidewalks or you might sprain an ankle.
Get in the habit of stopping when you want to look at something. Have the mindset to look down when you walk so you don’t step into a hole or crack. Over time, this will become a normal way of walking and you won’t have to think about it.
