Introduction
Unleashing the beauty and vibrant spirit of the lesser explored state of Colima, Mexico in a detailed, immersive, and insightful 3-day itinerary.
Day 1 - Exploring Colima City
We'll kickstart our Colima adventure in the heart of Colima City. The city's charm ebbs away in the morning hours, just like a melodious symphony reaching its crescendo. So, let's embrace the dawn with a stroll in the Jardín Libertad, the city's picturesque main plaza. Post breakfast, we'll make our way towards the Regional History Museum. This old mansion will nurse your curiosity with its rich collection of pre-Hispanic and colonial artifacts. Exciting, isn't it? By early afternoon, we'll pay a visit to the splendiferous 'Volcano of Fire', one of the most active and certainly the most youthful volcanoes in Mexico. We'll then retreat back to Colima City for a delightful dinner at a local gourmet restaurant, concluding day one with a head full of incredible sights and a heart full of Mexican warmth.
Day 2 - Wandering in Comala and Suchitlán
After immersing ourselves in Colima City's prowess the previous day, it's time to set sail for the charming Pueblo Magicos (or 'Magic Towns') of Comala and Suchitlán. Imagine being surrounded by historical white houses, folkloric music, and unique legacy, that's Comala for you. It's like a storybook coming to life, isn't it? Once we satiate ourselves with local bread and coffee, we'll head toward Nevado de Colima National Park for a much-desired wilderness escapade. After breathing in all that natural beauty, we'll drive further to explore Suchitlán, best known for its indigenous masks and its tranquil ambiance. Sitting by the town square, enjoying traditional dishes for dinner under a sky sprinkled with stars? Yes, please!
Day 3 - Encountering Manzanillo
Now that we've immersed ourselves in the cultural wealth and natural beauty of Colima, how about a dip in the azure indigo waters? For our final day, we'll embrace the coastal allure of Manzanillo, one of Mexico's prime beach destinations. Renowned for its lustrous beaches, the foremost being Playa La Audiencia, Manzanillo offers perfect relaxation after some intense exploration. In between your beach hours, do spare some time for souvenir shopping. Finish your day and your trip with a grilled seafood dinner by the beach, and let the waves wash over your senses as you reflect on the unique three-day expedition.
