Best Tlaquepaque Tours & Trips

Originally a separate city in the Mexican state of Jalisco, Tlaquepaque has steadily grown alongside its neighbor Guadalajara to connect its urban neighborhoods. It's name is derived from the native Aztec language of Nahuatl and means "place above clay land." Not surprisingly, the city is famous for its handcrafted pottery and blown glassware. Here a visitor will find the Hidalgo Garden - named after the "Father of Mexican Independence" - the church El Santuario de Nuestra Señora de la Soledad, and the Benito Juarez market.
