Get lost in the coastal city of Manzanillo, located in the state of Colima, to discover its hidden treasures. Are you ready for this new adventure?

Origins of Manzanillo

The inhabitants of this city took the name from a chamomile tree whose gender was changed. This happened because at that time, in 1800, there was already another town called Manzanilla. This in the Nahuatl language comes from the word Cozcatlan which means place of jewels.
