About Guadalajara

Estadio Akron, home of Liga MX giants Chivas, sits in the Zapopan hills northwest of downtown. With 1,500 m altitude, it’s the second-highest WC venue after Mexico City. Guadalajara is Mexico’s cultural heart — mariachi and tequila originate here.

Getting to the stadium

Mi Macro bus rapid transit plus a 10-minute walk connects downtown in ~40 minutes. Metro Line 3 stops at Zapopan Centro, then shuttle bus.

Local tip

💡 Take a day trip to Tequila town (1.5h drive) — taste authentic tequila at José Cuervo or Sauza distilleries.
