Island on the River Cuale overlooked by Gringo Gulch.
Reviewed By 147autumnb - Covington, United States
The Isla Cuale is an island in the mouth of a river that is basically a flea market with a lot of different vendors and restaurants. There is a tequila distillery at the mouth of the river and at the back of the island is a cultural museum. When we went the museum was closed but it looked like it would have been interesting. I had read about this place ahead of time and so I was expecting the vendors to be a little more pushy and they definitely were. When you start looking at something in any of the shops the vendor will immediately get up and follow you around. You can haggle anything as well. Some of them aren’t as aggressive, but it’s kind of expected when you have that many people selling basically all the same things right next to each other. I didn’t really like haggling because for the most part the items are cheaper then they would be if I were buying it at home. I haggled with a guy for a ladle holder for my kitchen because he was like 400 pesos which is $20 USD and I could have bought it cheaper at home. It was fun though and something I really wanted to go see. I would recommend to go and see the shops and eat lunch by the river. The river cafe was really good and enjoy this area, just know what to expect.

This small island located in Lake Chapala is home to an old fort from the Mexican Revolution.
Reviewed By EntrepreneurQueen - Torrance, United States
Amazing! We weren’t informed on getting our own tour guide and thought we would hire one at the island! BIG MISTAKE! The island has only a Security/ Mexican Federal guarding the island. We did find a boat round trip to the island at the Chapala Malecon. ALWAYS NEGOTIATE, Mexican negotiate with prices and will work with you as long as the price is reasonable. We thought the $2000 Mexican Pesos was fair, Miguel our boat guide informed us that the island had no stores or water, he offer to do a a run to a local store for us to buy us water and beer for our 45 minute boat ride. The island is so Amazing, even with our a guide we kinda guided ourself around. MAKE SURE TO WEAR COMFY HIKING SHOES. Our 5 year old toddy had a great time walking and exploring the island. He had fun trying to chase the cats that seem to have invaded the island. One room entering the fort to the fight by the steps to walk up to top, made me feel very uncomfortable like something was there! I feeling of sadness. I took picture and a lady seems like face Appeared. A great adventure, would love to go back but hiring a guide.
