Colima Travel Guide

Colima is one of Mexico's smallest states, dominated by the Volcan de Colima, the country's most active volcano, which steams on the Jalisco border. The state packs a capital city, the whitewashed magic town of Comala, and the Pacific port beaches of Manzanillo into a short drive.
Comala, the town of Juan Rulfo's novel Pedro Paramo, is the classic day trip for its portales restaurants. Manzanillo is a working port with resort beaches and a sportfishing reputation.
