Ajijic is a town about 3 miles from, and a part of, the
municipality of
Chapala, (Lake Chapala) in the State of Jalisco, Mexico.
Situated on the north shore of
Lake Chapala, surrounded by mountains, Ajijic enjoys a moderate
climate year round. The population is around 15,000.
Geography
Ajijic is located (at 20°18"N, 103°15"W) 5046 feet above sea
level in the vast central Mexican plateau that is home to the
Sierra Madre mountain range.
The Chapala Lake basin has a year round average temperature of
about 72°F / 22°C. The temperature ranges from a low of about 50°F /
10°C in the winter months, to a high of about 90°F / 32°C in
summer. The rainy season begins in June and lasts until October with
an average rainfall of approximately 34 inches / 860 mm.
History
Up until the arrival of the Spanish, the region was occupied by
nomadic Indian tribes, probably the Cocas tribe that settled the
northern shore. There seem to be many explanations, and meanings,
for the names Chapala and Ajijic, all of which are Indian place
names, probably derived from Nahuatl, the native language of the area.
Population
The Chapala region, especially Ajijic, has become a destination
for Americans, Canadians, French, German & other Europeans together
with a growing number of Australians & New Zealanders either escaping the high cost of living
north of the border, or freezing winters in Canada. These reasons,
along with the agreeable climate, have increased the area's
population and it appears this trend may continue, as the baby
boomers reach retirement age.
