Ey! I am Walter, creator of Obsidiana Tours and I am a Tapatío; yes, like the salsa you're thinking about. We are a group of local guides born and raised in Guadalajara; passionate about food, history, art, architecture, and the culture of this beautiful city, home of mariachi and tequila.
Ok, you are already familiar with the most known downtown landmarks of Guadalajara… So, are you ready for more? Join me in this free 2h walk through Colonia Americana, the most vibrant district of the city, recognized by Time Out magazine as the “World’s Coolest Neighborhood 2022”.
On this tour, we’ll do a deep dive into the most representative monuments and picturesque “Porfiriato’s” (1900s) mansions, the MUSA ( Art Museum of the University of Guadalajara), its hidden corners, and secret stories; then you will understand why it is considered the most trendy spot in the city.
Our tour starts in front of the Ex Convento del Carmen Fountain, in downtown, and finishes at Chapultepec Avenue, the heart of the Colonia Americana.
Food and drinks, music and dance. All is set for a memorable time with friends and family walking around bars and international restaurants day or night. You may want to enjoy a morning stroll and breakfast, or you might be interested in having a fun night out. This neighborhood has it all.
