The little town of Mazamitla, Jalisco lies nestled in the heart of the Sierra del Tigre, in western Mexico, 2,240 meters above sea level and 28 kilometers due south of Lake Chapala. The name of the town comes from a Nahuatl word meaning “the place where arrows are made for hunting deer” and even today mountain lions, deer and golden eagles can still be found among the pine and oak-covered hills which have been called (at least in the tourist brochures) “the Switzerland of Mexico.”
In point of fact, most people who visit Mazamitla don’t go there for their arrow supply, but rather to rent a cabin in the woods where they can breathe cold, fresh mountain air and imbibe the local ponche de granada (pomegranate punch) in front of a crackling fireplace.
