We try to get up to Comala at least once a year in the winter. The views of the volcano are amazing, the road has been updated and much easier to travel on. Stop along the way, and visit the coffee plantations, and some great restaurants. Most English speaking. Stop in Comala and just sit in the square and people watch. Try to go when cruise ships Are Not in Port less busy.
2. El Tortugugario

This simple nature preserve represents a valuable effort by a new generation to turn around years of ecological neglect. An undermanned facility and less-than-ideal conditions for its captive turtles and alligators testify to a lack of proper funding, but the tortugario remains a worthy place for both research and visitors. Its attraction is two-fold: first, in an impressive lagoon (one of Mexico's largest) teeming with waterfowl, best seen in the morning hours right after opening; and the turtle sanctuary itself, where eggs are careful incubated prior to supervised release increasing the odds of survival. It's a profound experience to hold a newly-hatched turtle barely larger than one's palm and send it on its maiden sea voyage. Hopefully by increasing its numbers, the park can sustain itself in the long term.

The garden has some beautiful floral arrangements and there is a landscape of the volcanoes with an archway behind it that makes for great photos. There are also restaurants and goodies surrounding it.

Several people rave about this tour by someone named Jupiter. Our guide, Roberto, took us on the volcano tour. He did not speak English. We live in Mexico and went for a weekend getaway. Unfortunately, five of us were in a van that was fine if you were in the front or the middle. But the rear door rattled so loudly that we couldn't hear the Spanish that we were trying to understand, the legroom was tiny and the guide never tried to help us climb in and out of the back during the frequent stops. Nothing from this website indicates that the trip would be in Spanish. Roberto was also running the inn so he knew that our Spanish was limited. Additionally, the inn supposedly offers breakfast but it didn't while we were there and there was no place open in town for breakfast before the tour started. So we didn't have the opportunity to eat a meal until around 1:00 PM

Volcano near Colima.
Reviewed By Bonnie G - Ajijic, Mexico
Where else in the world can you watch an active volcano erupt in steam an ash about every 3 hours? This is well worth a side trip to see. We stayed in Comala, at a clean, safe and inexpensive hostel. The plaza is busy in the evenings. Little shops and cafes around the plaza. We are going back in two week because there is so much to do there.

Los Manantiales de Agua Fría están situados a 17 km. de distancia de Villa de Álvarez, Colima, tomando la carretera que va hacia Minatitlán, a travéz de la continuación del 3er. anillo periférico.
El lugar es precioso, se trata de Manantiales en donde el agua nace helada o muy fría y tienden a tener Corrientes tranquilas y agua cristalina.
Dentro del sitio hay asadores y palapas para hacer tu día de campo, cuenta con estacionamiento, baños e incluso platillos a la carta y bebidas. Les sugiero renten una mesa y un asador y lleven sus alimentos. 100% recomendable para ir en pareja, amigos, familia y con niños.
Lleva tu traje de baño, salvavidas y toalla para que disfrutes de un buen chapuzón. Eso sí, advertido que está heladísima!!
El costo por entrar es de $15.0 y los platillos están entre $60 y $120 pesos.
También he de decir lo siguiente: Aprendamos a cuidar estos lugares tan preciosos y no tan conocidos, para que sigan maravillandonos con su belleza.

Sensational! This is where you will see the real articles. Dug from under a sugar cane farm and preserved and displayed by the founding family. There are repros of some of the pieces on a shopping street near the central Cathedral. ( also near a big parking garage) however, the quality for the most part is poor and touristy.

A nice place located in one of the most populars Corridors in downtown, in Andador Constitución. They have several events per week, most of them related to music, and/or art. They have artisanal beer, nice veggie pizzas to share with one or two friends, and also tapas.
They have art Exhibitions, and a cool kinda hipster boutique

This is a great little museum, located in the heart of Colima, Colima. It offers artifacts from the prehispanic era as well as a replica of the "Tiro tomb" full of history and a brief insight to our rich land. You cannot miss this if you are strolling downtown. My boyfriend loved it. He was amazed with the detail and history of the artifacts. My son got an opportunity to see part our history too. A must see!
