El Salto de las Peñas, Jalisco, Mexico

Local Tips
Cash is preferred, as card acceptance is rare in local shops. Pack insect repellent and sunblock given the rural setting. Cell signal can be spotty; plan accordingly.
Cultural Etiquette
Greet locals with a friendly 'Buenos días'; tipping in eateries is appreciated but not expected. Dress modestly, especially when visiting the church or community events.
Safety Warnings
Town is generally safe, but wildlife (snakes, stray dogs) is more common outside the village. Night travel on rural roads should be avoided due to lack of lighting.
Hidden Gems
Seek out the small waterfall on the outskirts, and the viewpoint atop the Peñas rocks with panoramic valley views. Local artisans sometimes sell handmade crafts at the plaza.
