Overview
Manzanillo is one of Mexico's major
ports, where visitors can admire ships both large and small that come from all over the
world. The 16 km (10 mi) of beaches in the city and its surroundings are the envy of the
country. They majestically stretch from west to east in the bays of Manzanillo and
Santiago and offer ideal conditions for divers, surfers, jet skiers and bathers. The
most popular beaches in Manzanillo are Playa Las Brisas and Playa de Miramar, well known
for their impressive waves that will delight even the most seasoned
surfers.
Approximately one hour from Manzanillo is
Colima, the state's capital, founded in 1523. Here, you can admire an architectural
style that is unique to the region, as well as a volcano.
Downtown Manzanillo offers plenty of shops, good restaurants and
evening entertainment, while Colima features a variety of gardens, museums, theatres and
shops.
