Buena Vista

Buena Vista is a small town 10 minutes North of Chapala and it was started by the large land owners that came from Spain in the late 1800's. The hacienda, Buena Vista, ( Good Views) had local indians as slaves that would work in their fields and the indian slaves lived in hutches made of clay and straw, and their villages surrounded the "hacienda". During the Mexican Revolution, the revolutionaries under Pancho Villa took over the hacienda and distributed the land to the villagers that by that time were not pure breed indians anymore, they were "mestizos" indians mixed with Spanish blood = Mexicans. The hacienda still exists, at the hill top just a couple of hundred yards from the local church. A lot of the walls still have the bullet holes that the revolutionaries put there, it is a historical area, however privately owned by the Buena Vista decendants. There are Mexican indian ruins from the 16 century only 1 1/2 hours from there. The archealogical area is saturated with history and artifacts of the now extinct tribes of indians.
