Tapalpa — Pine-Forest Escape & “Land of Colors” Charm

Cool mountain air, red-tile rooftops, cozy cabins, and nature escapes just beyond town.

Tapalpa, Jalisco Pueblo Mágico with red tile rooftops, pine forest hills, and colonial church
Tapalpa’s red-tile rooftops and pine-covered hills create one of Jalisco’s most peaceful mountain towns.

Nestled in the highlands of Jalisco, Tapalpa is a Pueblo Mágico built for slowing down.
Pine forests surround the town, cool air replaces the coastal heat, and the rhythm of life revolves around plaza walks,
warm drinks, and long conversations.

Wander the historic center to admire whitewashed homes and red-tile roofs, then venture outside town for nature and open space.
Nearby highlights include the massive stone formations known as Las Piedrotas and the dramatic drop of Salto del Nogal.
Whether you stay in a cabin or a boutique inn, Tapalpa feels calm, welcoming, and quietly memorable.

Why go:
Cool mountain weather, cabin stays, peaceful plazas, and easy access to some of Jalisco’s best nature spots.
