Description
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.
History
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.
Culture
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.
