Overview
Colonia Americana is one of the most representative areas of Guadalajara, recognized for the coexistence between its past, its daily life and its contemporary development. In this experience we will learn how this space has established itself as a cultural reference in the city.
Throughout the tour we will explore different points that allow us to understand the transformation of the Colonia Americana and its role in the urban life of Guadalajara. Through its streets and buildings, we will appreciate the relationship between design, creativity and the daily life of those who live in the area.
The tour begins at the Expiatorio del Santísimo Sacramento Parish, one of the most emblematic temples of the city. We will continue through different points of the Colonia Americana, where we will identify creative projects, historic buildings and areas with constant cultural and social activity.
The experience ends in an emblematic work of the architect Luis Barragan, which allows us to understand the relevance of design and modern architecture within the current identity of Guadalajara.
