Ajijic

Mexico / Jalisco / Ajijic /
Ajijic is a small town settled in the shores of Chapala Lake, is a pintoresque turistic village 3 miles from, and a part of, the municipality of Chapala, in the State of Jalisco, Mexico. Situated on the north shore of Lake Chapala, surrounded by mountains and hills, Ajijic enjoys a moderate climate year round. The population is around 15,000.

The Chapala region, especially Ajijic, has become a destination for Americans and Canadians, either escaping the high cost of living north of the border, or freezing winters in Canada. These reasons, along with the agreeable climate, have increased the area's population and it appears this trend may continue, as the baby boomers reach retirement age.

  • And it will continue since the economy in the US and Canada seems to be weaker every day, so with the money that "babyboomers" receive from the government every month in the US they will live on a trailer truck and would have to eat canned beans every other day, but in Mexico with that money they can live ok, still with limitations but in Mexico they could afford a good life and back in the US they would be literally homeless!!!
