Just a couple of corrections:

Puerto Vallarta is considered to be Western Jalisco, not Northern.

Despite Zacatecas' geographic location, it's considered to be a northern city due to culture, ties and population density.

Kilometro 40 translates to 40th kilometer or Kilometer 40, not 40 kilometers.

Tequila is not "exclusively made in Guadalajara", It can be made in the whole state of Jalisco and even in other bordering states.

Durango is also more known as a Northern state than central.
