Ocotlán is a city in Jalisco. It is considered the furniture capital of Mexico. Embedded deep in the Ocotlán culture is the appearance of the Merciful Lord Jesus Christ, for which event the people in Ocotlán, who are mostly Catholics, hold local celebrations. Ocotlán has comfortable weather almost all year round, and a tranquil environment. It is located on the north-east end of Lake Chapala.

Sightseeing
Two main cathedrals line the plaza. One is the church named La Purisima, which is one of the oldest buildings in Jalisco. The altar is dipped in gold. The other cathedral, more recent than La Purisima, was built in the late 1800s and dedicated to Nuestro Señor de Misericordia, which honours a vision of Christ seen after an extremely destructive earthquake.

Getting there
There are frequent buses arriving from Oaxaca.
