Itinerary description
This is the fastest and smoothest driving route I have found from the lakeside to the Ecoturismo Río de la Pasión campground and recreational site. If you go this way you don't need a high-clearance vehicle. Below are instructions for driving to the Ecoturismo Center from Guadalajara:
How to get there
Take the Colima highway out of Guadalajara and get on the road to Jocotepec. Skirt the lake and when you reach what Google Maps calls “Las Vaqueritas Nacional Poniente” (N20.16025 W103.06474), just before Tizapán, turn right onto Camino a la Hacienda. Then take the first right (Carretera a Tizapán) and follow the main road south. When you’ve driven 19.5 kilometers from Las Vaqueritas you’ll see the signposted road to Ecoturismo Río de la Pasión. Turn east here (N20.02489 W103.03122) and drive 5.5 kilometers to the Center. Here, ask anyone for the “Camino al Río.” You can see the car route on Wikiloc.com under “Tizapan to Ecoturismo Pasion” and the walking trail under “Caminata de la Pasion.” Driving time from Guadalajara to Ecoturismo: about three hours.
