Atotonilco el Alto Municipality, Administrative division in Jalisco, Mexico.

Located in central-western Mexico, Atotonilco el Alto Municipality spans across 510.9 square kilometers within the Los Altos region of Jalisco state.

The municipality received its city status designation on May 15, 1868, after being established by Purépecha people in the late 1400s and conquered in 1530.

Local festivals combine religious celebrations with agricultural fairs, reflecting the strong connection between farming traditions and community gatherings throughout the year.

The municipality encompasses 112 towns including Cienega del Pastor, La Santa Rosa, San Francisco de Asís, and La Guadalupana, connected by regional road networks.

The Taretan Water Park, operating since 1950, features natural hot springs that flow from the Taretan River, with stone structures and recreational facilities.
