What type of social life can someone expect in Lake Chapala?

When we asked expats and global nomads about their social experiences in Lake Chapala, they replied...

"Will you be asking about security, corruption -- law & order? This is the reason I left this area last year and will not return. Otherwise, the expat community is large and diverse and very welcoming," explained one expat living in Lake Chapala, Mexico.

"Expats, retirees and digital nomads living in Lake Chapala typically have an active social life. There are many opportunities to meet people and make friends, such as joining local clubs and organizations, attending community events, and participating in activities like golf, tennis, and yoga. Expats often find that the local Mexican culture is very welcoming and friendly, and they quickly become part of the community. Additionally, there are many expat-run businesses and organizations that offer social activities and events, such as potlucks, movie nights, and language classes," said another in Lake Chapala, Mexico.
