Wixárika people dressed in traditional tribal garb left offerings at their ceremonial shrine on Lake Chapala’s Isla de los Alacranes during this week’s commemoration of International Day of Indigenous Peoples.

When Melody Peterson saw that dogs were spreading the trash left for garbage pick-up in her neighborhood in Ajijic, she came up with an ingenious solution – the basura (trash) board.  

Galeria de Aire Libre Axixic will showcase an exhibition “We Exist!: The Flora and Fauna of Ajijic” in the garden area of the Ajijic Plaza Saturday, August 20, 5 p.m.  

A short and busy stretch of Chapala’s Calle Veustiano Carranza will be closed to traffic as of early next week to undergo reconstruction. 

An upgrade for the central plaza in San Antonio Tlayacapan will finally get under way before the end of this month, according to Chapala Public Works Director Rodrigo Paredes. 

In two separate incidents registered since the first of the month, criminal suspects died in highway crashes while being chased by Chapala police officers.
