Arcos de Zapopan^[1] is the eighteenth station of Line 3 of the SITEUR of Guadalajara from south-east to north-west, and the first in the opposite direction. This station is the north-west terminal of the line, as well as the first elevated station of the Guadalajara-Zapopan viaduct.

This station is located on the crossing of Juan Gil Preciado Av. (Road to Tesistán) with Arco del Triunfo Av. from the Colonia Arcos de Zapopan.^[2] When Line 3 was under construction, this station was named Periférico Tesistán,^[3] but it was changed by popular request of by local residents, since the next station (Periférico Belenes) is closer to the peripheral roadway than the terminal station.^{[citation needed]} Its logotype is a cob, which represents that there were large corn crops around the place, crops that started disappearing with the growth of the city. The station serves the nearby Our Lady of Altagracia Parish.^[4]
