The Spirit of Lake Chapala
Expatriates living at Lake Chapala have one thing in common. They gave up our familiar lifestyles and the security of our homelands to retire in a foreign country. Coming from all over the world, they bring enthusiasm, creativity, knowledge and skills. This 70-minute video documents what life is like for these adventurers who left their homelands to enjoy the culture and activities of the Chapala Ribera.
In the Shadow of Mount Garcia
The South side of the lake is very different from the much busier North shore. It’s still very country, and very tranquil, and only a few foreigners live here. The few communities Like San Pedro Tesistan, San Luis Soyatlan and Tuxcueca are fishing and farming communities and still do not have the infrastructure or conveniences of services as the cities on the other side of the lake. But it’s peaceful and picturesque, and authentic.
