Accepted Answer

If your trip to Ocotlan is all booked but your travel itinerary is looking a little empty, let us give you a few hints and tips.

Every day is a chance to try a new adventure. So, why not head out and go picnicking or hiking? They're popular leisure activities in the region. Don't forget Mezcala Island — it's also a top attraction to add to your schedule.

Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Ocotlan?

Accepted Answer

Don't spend all your time in Ocotlan, especially when famous sights are right on your doorstep. Hospicio Cabanas hardly needs an introduction. Located about 45 miles away in Guadalajara, your travel itinerary just has to include this must-do attraction.

Question 3

What kind of rental car should I get for Ocotlan?

Accepted Answer

Ocotlan is major. You could spend a week or two here and hardly scratch the surface. If you want to soak up as much as possible in this busy metropolis, a rental car is a must. Bear in mind that driving in the city generally comes with tight streets and sparse parking spaces. But don't worry — a small ride like a compact can make this much less daunting. If you're planning to skip town and explore the sandy shores that Ocotlan is famous for, you may prefer something with more power and room to move. A full-size or mid-size SUV will get you around comfortably.

Question 4

Should I get a luxury rental car in Ocotlan?

Accepted Answer

First of all, there's a huge range of both high-end and economy vehicles to rent in Ocotlan. What you end up going for is largely dependent on what you're willing to spend as well as what you plan to do. Specialty and prestige vehicles are hard to beat if you're all about comfort and class. If you want to indulge yourself, why not pick up an SUV with all the bells and whistles, or perhaps a flashy mid-sized sedan? On the other hand, if you're just after a car to zip around town in at the cheapest price possible, maybe go for an economy vehicle (or something else that's unlikely to break the bank).

Question 5

What side of the road do they drive on in Ocotlan?

Accepted Answer

In Ocotlan, you'll have to keep to the right side. When visiting someplace new, it's always a wise idea to go for a vehicle with automatic transmission. That way, you can focus on the road and not worry about gear changes.

Question 7

Does Ocotlan have peak-hour traffic?

Accepted Answer

As the population of Ocotlan is roughly 83,800, you shouldn't have too much difficulty with traffic. However, major roads generally get busy before and after work hours, so you may want to avoid driving then.
