Your guide will share stories about the origins of mariachi, regional traditions, and the cultural heritage that makes Cocula a symbol of Jalisco’s identity.

Mariachi was recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, and this museum preserves the history, instruments, and stories behind its evolution.
