If you’ve been daydreaming about your next international escape, it’s time to turn those dreams into reality.
The next question is where do you want to go?
One popular destination, at least according to Condé Nast Traveler’s roundup of 2018’s best places to visit, is Mexico’s Guadalajara. And it’s not just because the city is the birthplace of tequila.
“The past few years have seen Mexico’s second largest metropolis emerge as an art and design destination, as well as a home to lively food, cocktail, and party scenes,” the publication writes.
Thankfully, there are plenty of regular, relatively-inexpensive flights between Chicago and Guadalajara. We pulled from travel site Skyscanner to provide you with a short list of flights and hotels handpicked with the trendy adventurer in mind.
