Quick ride by bicycle from Guadalajara to Tlaquepaque

This cycling route kicks off in the bustling heart of Guadalajara, known for its vibrant plazas and iconic mariachi music. You’ll head southeast toward Tlaquepaque, a charming suburb famous for its colorful streets and artisan shops. The ride covers about 15.4 km and gently rolls through the city with just enough ups and downs to keep things interesting (nothing too steep, though).

You’ll stick mostly to quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, so it’s a relaxed ride away from heavy traffic. Most of the way is smoothly paved, with a blend of concrete and asphalt under your tires, and you’ll get to take in some neighborhoods that really showcase Guadalajara’s blend of old and new architecture.

Once you roll into Tlaquepaque, don’t miss Calle Independencia—a pedestrian street bursting with galleries, cafes, and the sound of local musicians. Perfect for a mid-ride pit stop or some post-ride exploring. This route is a great way to experience everyday Jalisco life on two wheels!
