WHY GUADALAJARA…

Guadalajara, the vibrant capital of Jalisco, is a dream destination for HYROX-ers seeking a mix of culture, adventure and authentic Mexican charm. Often overshadowed by Mexico City, Guadalajara offers a more relaxed yet equally dynamic experience, perfect for those who love to explore on foot, dive into local traditions and enjoy a buzzing social scene.

Start your adventure in the historic city centre, where colonial architecture and colourful plazas set the stage for immersive cultural experiences. The city is the birthplace of mariachi music and evenings at Plaza de Los Mariachis are unforgettable—live bands, dancing locals and a festive atmosphere that captures the soul of Mexico.

For athletes, Guadalajara offers plenty of outdoor fun. On Sundays, major avenues like Vallarta and Juarez close to traffic, transforming into pedestrian zones where locals cycle, walk and dance in the streets. It’s a great way to connect with the community and enjoy the city’s laid-back vibe.

Food and drink are central to the Guadalajara experience. From street tacos to upscale dining, the city’s culinary scene is rich and varied. And of course, no visit is complete without a tequila tasting tour in nearby Tequila, home to the world-famous Jose Cuervo Distillery. The nightlife is youthful and energetic, especially along Chapultepec Avenue, where quirky bars, live music, and craft breweries attract a lively crowd.

Whether you’re into art, music, food, or just soaking up the local energy, Guadalajara delivers a travel experience that’s both enriching and exhilarating.
