Sortie rapide à vélo de Zapopan à Guadalajara

Spin from Zapopan into the heart of Guadalajara on a comfy, city-friendly ride. It’s about 14 km with a gentle net climb (roughly +29 m), mostly smooth and straightforward.

Good news for stress-free pedaling: around two-thirds of the route follows dedicated cycleways and the rest sticks to quiet streets—no busy roads on this one. Surfaces are mainly urban concrete and asphalt with a tiny dash of paving stones; expect typical city pavement, though a few segments may vary.

Zapopan is home to the beautiful Basilica of Our Lady of Zapopan and forms part of the Guadalajara metro area. Roll south-east and you’ll land in Guadalajara, capital of Jalisco—famous for mariachi, nearby tequila country, and the UNESCO-listed Hospicio Cabañas.

Tips:

• Watch for occasional texture changes (paving stones, seams) and speed bumps.
• Bring water—shade can be hit or miss.
• If riding near dusk, lights help on the quieter stretches.

A scenic, practical link between two vibrant centers—ideal for a relaxed urban spin.
