Colima Travel Guide: 9 reviews and 13 photos

TRY IT YOU'LL LIKE IT

For those of you who haven't had the opportunity, you should try this lovely,clean and friendly state & city of same name. The people are some of the most congenial people in all of Mexico. I suppose it is because they haven't delt with many tourists as people in other cities. I live here in the indian village of Suchitlan and can see no reason for leaving this area. 3500' elevation w/ clear skies, gentle breezes, magnificent views and food that is incredible. Drop me a line and I can send photos and more info. This photo is from one of the Boteneros in the plaza of Comala.

There was a time when Mexico meant hanging out in Tijuana or Rosarito....then I found the real Mexico! It is a beautiful country & you are lucky to live in such a lovely area. Look forward to more pictures from you! Hasta Luego!
