Off the Beaten Path in Colima, Mexico

Colima, Mexico is the 4th smallest state in the country, it’s no wonder why it doesn’t see a lot of tourism. In this video, we explore some of Colima’s rural towns. First we visit El Remate, where we have a delicious meal at the restaurant “El Remate, Tradición y Sabor.”

Then, we make our way to La Yerbabuena, the community closest to the Volcan de Fuego de Colima (The Fire Volcano of Colima, one of Mexico’s most active volcanoes).

Lastly, we end the day at La Terraza de Mary, a coffee shop with a great view of the volcanoes.

I did a study abroad in Colima in the mid 90s! My husband and I have been down the past 3 years trying to decide where in Colima we want to start spending winters. We love how authentic Colima is!!

Oooo, El Remate looks like a fantastic place. Colima seems very interesting. Those volcanoes seem scary though. OMG, you guys actually had your parents in your video. May, your mom is adorable.

"Nobody really visits here". That's the main reason for travel. To go places nobody else goes. Example:Anthony Bourdain.
