Jocotepec, Lakeside town in Jalisco, Mexico

Jocotepec extends along the western shore of Lake Chapala, featuring stone-cobbled streets and traditional Mexican homes surrounded by mountain landscapes.

The area's settlement dates to 100 BC, with Nahua Indians establishing permanent residence in 1361 before Spanish colonization under Captain Alonzo de Avalos in 1520.

The town celebrates two major religious festivals honoring El Señor del Monte and El Señor del Guaje with masses, traditional dances, and community parades.

Visitors find various accommodation options near the central plaza, from boutique hotels to vacation rentals, with easy access to local markets and restaurants.

Driscoll Berry Farms operates extensive organic berry cultivation facilities, producing strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries for international export since 2009.
