Where is Tapalpa?

Well, mostly this is a post for my friend Fawn to show her how wonderful and beautiful Tapalpa is. First off let’s start with a map:

Ok, you might be asking yourself where is that?! Tapalpa is in the state of Jalisco:

Jalisco is one of the south western states of Mexico. One of it’s famous beaches is Puerto Vallarta. Tapalpa is near that small city that says “Ciudad Guzman”.

What is Tapalpa?

Tapalpa is a small rural town that was a Spanish Colony. What does Tapalpa mean? Well, the locals say it’s a nahuatl word meaning “Land of Colors”. It has the typical Mexican small town areas: Plaza, Church and Farmer’s market. Tapalpa is mostly famous because it’s a completely different world from Guadalajara  and surrounding areas. Climate and flora that surrounds Tapalpa is a pine forest and there’s a lot of nature. I mean like overflowing! So here are some pictures with descriptions:
