# Lake Chapala

Guadalajara, Mexico

Mexico's largest freshwater lake stretches roughly 80 kilometers across the Jalisco highlands southeast of Guadalajara. Ringed by villages like Chapala and Ajijic, it draws migratory white pelicans each winter and has lured a large community of foreign retirees since the 1950s.
