The little industrialization and urbanization of this destination give it a very special essence that you can feel as you walk through the downtown area or its natural attractions. The main square of Tapalpa has two beautiful temples dating from the colonial period, known as the Old Temple and the New Temple. The first one is the Temple of Saint Anthony, built in the 17th century by Franciscan friars, and the second is the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe, completed in 1970 with the cooperation of the people of Tapalpa. Another religious building worth visiting is the Temple of Our Lady of Mercy.
Besides its churches, Tapalpa has several places of great beauty and historical significance. Discover the Paper Mill, a building dating back to 1840 that holds the title of being the first factory of its kind in western Mexico. You can also find El Fresnillo Square and the former Atacco Indians Hospital where Franciscan friars gave medical attention to the inhabitants of the region during the colonial period.
If you are more interested in discovering the natural wonders of this city, you can visit Nogal Dam. This site will allow you to enjoy a day of peace and quietness away from the bustle of cities. Las Piedrotas is another point that you cannot miss. From the top of these rock formations you can admire the entire valley. Tapalpa also offers attractions for the more adventurous travelers. Ekopark is ideal for extreme sports such as climbing, rappelling, hiking, zip-line, or gotcha.
***The official currency of Mexico is the Mexican Peso (MXN).

","info":"The typical dish of the cuisine of Tapalpa is borrego al pastor. This dish consists of lamb meat seasoned with various spices and cooked on the grill. Another traditional dish from the gastronomy of Jalisco is birria, which is also made with marinated lamb meat, served with the broth resulting from cooking the meat in the oven.
For sweet lovers, Tapalpa offers two desserts made with fruits that are harvested in the region. The most popular are borrachitos, small sweets made with flour mixed with fruit pulp and a touch of liquor. Other popular desserts include fruit preserves in syrup, a clear example of the Spanish legacy in the Mexican cuisine.
Traditional drinks of this region also reflect the Spanish influence in Mexico. Tapalpa has several establishments that serve eggnog, a liquor that was originally prepared by the nuns residing in the convents in the colonial era. This drink is made with egg yolks, vanilla, milk, sugar, and liquor, although there are different variations that may include nuts, coffee, or chocolate. You cannot leave Tapalpa without trying its delicious grenade punch, a sweet and refreshing drink that is made from the fruit of the same name.
