Ajijic Mexico — What to Expect

We spent 5 weeks in Ajijic Mexico and in the nearby town of San Antonio Tlayacapan along the shore of Lake Chapala in Mexico. The Lake Chapala area and Ajijic in particular are popular destinations for US and Canadian retirees, especially during the winter months. There are many services and businesses that cater to the expat community, and English is readily spoken. It’s also pretty pricey relative to the other areas we’ve visited so far in Mexico, but still very affordable compared to the USA, and especially so if you put a little effort into managing your budget.
