Mirador Independencia Park

Parqué Mirador is a magnificent park with a grand entrance, once inside the first thing you come upon is a statue of Miguel Hidalgo the father of the independence of Mexico. The statue sits on top of a tiny green knoll, and behind it lies the walkway to the lookout. The walkway to the lookout itself is lined with these gorgeous green trees that give off lots of shade. Once at the lookout you will be treated with glorious views of the canyon, there you will see the awesome power of nature. Here the earth has been pushed up and a river has carved a deep canyon. Sitting at about 5000 feet the gaps between the canyons are impressive and if you keep your eyes open you might even spot an Iguana. People of all ages come to enjoy the park, it's a wonderful place to bring the family or that special someone the views are breath taking, there are restrooms and also a resturant.

Amazing place the view is unbelievable
An absolute must if your visiting Guadalajara about 25 mins out by car

The best place in the city to do hiking, best season to visit it's in summer after the first rains after everything become green and the sky get blue. At a normal pace, it would take you around 45 minutes to go downhill and reach the historical bridge, and going uphill would take you around 1:15 hours. Definitely a challenging experience you have to try at least once if you live in the city, or if you spend more than 2 weeks in Guadalajara as a tourist and you love nature and exercising.

Breathtaking... literally and figuratively. Be somewhat fit to hike some of the way and enjoy the vistas

Awesome park! Amazing views that you don’t have to work for. Located next to the university of Guadalajara’s design campus so pretty safe area

The views are breathtaking... Try visiting between July and October so that you can see all the greenery. Afterwards, comes the dry season and you will see everything on shades of brown.

Is the most beautiful place I've been in the City! The mist was awesome and gave the place a very mystical touch. my Girlfriend took an awesome photo of that Day, please pay a visit if you are able to.

If you like a hiking challenge you have got to visit this place. The scenery is amazing and quite breathtaking I do recommend you take water for the trip back up. I underestimated this hike and I almost passed out so take it slow. There is a couple of obstacle courses you can also do there.

This place is definitely a must-see. Great views and great food. Not to mention adorable little creatures.

Amazing view to the canyon

Awesome view. 🥰

Very good hike and beautiful scenery! Use the regular trail to get down and if you're up for a challenge just the train tracks to get back up!

Beautiful and inspiring. Protect and cherish this park.

One of the best views in Guadalajara!

Easy to get to by public transport, stunning view. Definitely worth a visit.

Early in the morning is the best hour!

Beautiful place to have a peaceful day

Beautiful park with a spectacular view of the valley.. perfect place to spend a few hours.. there are concerts and other activities that happens during the weekend.. there are no restaurants around so get your own food

This place is really cool. Be prepared for the climb up hill. Bring plenty of water if you are not accustomed to hiking. Once at the bottom keep left on the trail to see the cool bridge. Follow the "landmark" on the floor.

Really nice park with a great view and a lot of green areas, even a place to eat while you have full visibility of the the hills.
