MANZANILLO
Manzanillo is one of the
most beautiful beach destinations in the nation. It is located on the
Pacific coast, 90 km (56 mi) south of state capital
Colima. The climate is warm and fairly dry, with an average
year-round temperature of 27º C (81º F).
Manzanillo is known as
the Sailfish Capital of the World. Since 1957, it has hosted important
national and international fishing competitions, such as the Dorsey
Tournament, making it a very attractive fishing destination.
At the
beaches of Miramar and La Audiencia, which have
fine sand and gentle slopes, you can do various aquatic sports, such as
scuba diving and snorkeling. At the hotels and at Las
Hadas Marina, you can hire a yacht to enjoy the sun and the region’s
incredible scenery along the bays of Manzanillo
and Santiago. The ride affords you an excellent view of the hills covered
with lush vegetation, which are ideal spots for ecotourism outings, camping
and adventure sports.
In
Manzanillo you’ll find modern Mediterranean-
Moorish- and Mexican-style hotel resorts. This destination also has three
world-class golf courses, some of which are surrounded by lagoons and
mountains, and offer an ocean view. These courses offer everything you’ll
need to enjoy an excellent day on the links.
