If you’re looking to unplug and swap the city for water and greenery, then you have to check out this place: Koala Bungalows, on the Santa María del Oro lagoon .
A beautiful getaway just three hours from Guadalajara, perfect for spending the day, camping, or renting one of their cottages.
Starting at $100, you can enjoy the facilities, but we recommend extending your stay a bit and spending the night (you can camp), as it’s worth waking up there and exploring the surroundings.
