Valle de Juárez

Valle de Juárez is a municipality in Jalisco in central-western Mexico situated at approximately 2000 meters elevation with agricultural lands and residential areas. The administrative center serves around 6,000 residents with electricity, water, and drainage services.

The region was originally inhabited by the Tarasco people under the name Tequesquite before becoming a municipality in 1895. The name changed in 1911 from Valle de Mazamitla to its current form.

Annual celebrations honoring San Pascual Bailón draw the community together at the main plaza and parish church. These traditions reflect how local identity continues through recurring festivities shared with visitors.

The high elevation can affect visitors, so it's wise to arrive early and stay hydrated during your visit. The dry season offers better road conditions for accessing the area comfortably.

Natural springs at El Sirino and Agua Caliente feed local water supplies and shape the semi-dry climate of the area. These water sources have been part of the landscape since pre-colonial times.
