Ashley B 0 Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Hello, I will be staying in GDL with my family (2 adults 3 kids). I would like to spend a day in Lake Chapala, but we won't have a rental car. I can see that we would be able to take an Uber to Lake Chapala, but are there ever any Ubers to get back to GDL? I am wondering the same thing about Tequila as well, in case anyone has info on that. Thank you! Ashley Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mostlylost 1,484 Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Getting an Uber back to GDL will be easier on a weekend, but will require some luck. There are always taxis or busses to return 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomgates 798 Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Like Mostly Lost said, easy to get a ride share to Lakeside or Tequila but hit or miss on the return. There are always taxis for the return. The Aloft Hotel is a good one to stay in Guadalajara. Great area of the city. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley B 0 Posted March 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Thank you for the info. I'm sure it depends on the day/taxi driver, but do you know an approx price for Taxi to GDL? We will be there during weekday not weekends. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AngusMactavish 3,277 Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 A quite comfortable bus trip is 55p each. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dichosalocura 610 Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 The cheapest option is to just take an uber to the old bus station or la Central Vieja and come by way of the Chapala bus. I believe the direct Chapala bus is now 60 pesos. Or come to Chapala in an uber and return to Gdl by way of the cheap comfortable Chapala bus or take a taxi for between $500 to $700 pesos which comes out close to $25 to $35 dollars give or take some. We are only 45 minutes or so down the road from Guadalajara. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Most will come to ZMG Guadalajara to pick you up and return you that day. Several have vans for 3 adults and 3 children. This is not the least expensive way but probably the best way to get a full day without a lot of hassle. Join the FAcebook page. You do have to join the group to access the names and card pictures. Everybody should anyway because the info on FAcebook is more like we used to get on this site and MExconnect. Everything moves and changes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dichosalocura 610 Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 To go to Tequila, there was a scenic train that took you there and back from Guadalajara. I heard that they took it off line for awhile. Maybe, someone will know if it is up and running again. That would be a cool and easy way to go to Tequila. And if you have time; check out the small but very cool pyramids called Los Guachimontones. They are the only circular pyramids in México and are in the city of Teuchitlán, not far from Tequila.
