Panteón de Belén

1. Take the Chapala Plus direct bus from Ajijic or Chapala.

There are a couple of different classes and routes that the buses take to Guadalajara, so to ensure you’re on the right one it’s probably best to board at the station in Ajijic or Chapala, instead of one of the many stops along the highway.

From Ajijic, the quickest route is the direct first-class bus which bypasses Chapala and heads to Guadalajara via the libramiento. It takes about an hour to reach the “old” bus station there, called the central vieja.

2. Take a taxi or get an uber to the Pantéon de Belén
