Things to Do  

Volcan Colima

Volcan Colima, Colima

 m1nkey Says:  There are actually two dormant volcanos near Colima. If you want to see them take a tour. We didnt and we spent several hours trying to find the road and never did. we got close but we were on the wrong side and couldnt get to the entry. And the mount roads kept getting... 

Volcanic explosions: VOLCAN de FUEGO

Volcanic explosions: VOLCAN de FUEGO, Colima

 CONSULTOR Says:  It is great fun and very exciting to see and hear the Vocan de Fuego blow steam, ash & lava. The vibrations from the explosions can rattle the glasses on our patio table while we watch and wonder. This volcan is active every day and is the most active in Mexico. 

Pyramids of La Campana in Colima,Colima,Mexico

Pyramids of La Campana in Colima,Colima,Mexico, Colima

 CONSULTOR Says:  These pyramids are the most ancient of the Colima area and are Capacha which are of the same age as the Olmec cultures on the Gulf of Mexico. These are not massive pyramids as are the ones at Teotihuacan near Mexico City. Still a must see. 

Hotels

Restaurants  

COMALA ANTIGUA: The arrachara & pollo en mole verde: fantastico

COMALA ANTIGUA: The arrachara & pollo en mole verde: fantastico, Colima

 CONSULTOR Says:  This building, built on the edge overlooking the Comala River & the upper bridge is on three levels. The building is about 150 yrs old and the ambiance is charming. Three meals I subscribe to: ARRACHARA, POLLO EN MOLE VERDE & CAMARONES A LA DIABLA. If you can beat these... 

MI RANCHITO: steaks you can cut with a fork

MI RANCHITO: steaks you can cut with a fork, Colima

 CONSULTOR Says:  This is a very lovely restaraunt which is walking distance from some fine hotels. The food is of course Mexican, but is Regional and I feel that the types of meats offered is unreal. Arrachara en Fajitas. If you haven't tried it, I can't describe it. Just fantastic. 

Off The Beaten Path  

Tourist free swimming hole

Tourist free swimming hole, Colima

 CONSULTOR Says:  This lovely area; Canyon de Herdivero is down and out of the way on the river that boarders the States of Colima & Michoacan. The water originates up stream from the little cafeteria out of a natural hot spring. Getting to this place requires good tires & a high riding... 

Long open beach

Long open beach, Colima

 CONSULTOR Says:  This little village is called TECUANILLO and is on the south beaches south of Manzanillo. To get there, you have to go thru the town of Tecoman on hi-way Mex 200 to hi-way Col 89 & on down till you hit the beach at PLAYA DE TECUANILLO. Now.....this is also a fantastic place... 

Villages & eating

Villages & eating, Colima

 CONSULTOR Says:  Three places that I think are must see: The area/restaraunt at TAMPUMACHAY, the incredible museum in NOGERAS, which is an old Hacienda and the wonderful, fun BOTENEROS of Comala. This is where the food and music (Mariachis) are free and the drinks are reasonable. Great fun!...

A: I DON'T THINK YOU GO NEAR THE VOLCANO AS IT'S TOO DANGEROUS FOR IT BUT I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT YOU CAN CLIMB THE EXTINCT NEARBY NEVADO DE COLIMA FOR A GOOD VIEW OF IT.
