Hotels in Jalisco, Mexico

Jalisco is a state on Mexico's Pacific coast, famous as the birthplace of tequila and mariachi music. The climate is warm year-round, averaging 70-90°F (21-32°C), with dry winters perfect for whale watching in Banderas Bay near Puerto Vallarta, and rainy summers ideal for touring the agave fields and distilleries in the town of Tequila, a UNESCO World Heritage site. During the dry season from November to April, you can snorkel at Los Arcos National Park, while the green season from June to October brings lush landscapes and lower hotel rates in Guadalajara's historic center, home to the 16th-century Cathedral and the Degollado Theater where you can hear live mariachi performances.
