Very cute, beautiful and very quiet and peaceful. I would say that describes the ambience of the park/viewpoint de la Independencia near the CUAAD campus in Guadalajara. The viewpoint with the small park on top is located at the end of a street pretty much on the outskirts of Guadalajara. Like the viewpoint looks out over the surrounding countryside.
As I have an absolute weakness for viewpoints and legitimately haven’t found a better one or one with a view of Guadalajara itself, I went there and was… well, not underwhelmed, but the viewpoint is like Guadalajara itself. Beautiful, but just not amazing. However, you can chill out on the steps and just enjoy the view, have a snack and just be. And the park itself is also really cute and absolutely peaceful.
Go or not? If you like viewpoints and are in Guadalajara anyway, yes. Otherwise, no. Because it’s quite nice there, but not a must.
