Manzanillo:
Manzanillo is a city and port in Western Mexico in the Colima state. The city lies in the Pacific Ocean, in the pre-Columbian era the site was a town, the town of Tzalahua and ships were built there for Spaniard conquistador Hernan Cortes’ expedition of 1533 to the Gulf of California.

Manzanillo is 256 km southeast of Puerto Vallarta and has been known as a resort town with beautiful beaches sportfishing and a variety of diving sites ideal for scuba divers, as well as modern and popular golf courses for lovers of the sport. Manzanillo’s tropical geography makes it a popular destination for vacationers; tall palm trees, abundant mango trees, sandy beaches and perfect weather all year round make you feel in a Caribbean island.

Manzanillo has a mixed feeling for whoever visits it, on one side it is Mexico’s busiest commercial seaport, and on the other hand it is a quiet and traditional colourful town with houses by the hills, and full of seafood restaurants, bars, shops and salsa nightclubs.

The main source of the economy of Manzanillo is tourism, but it also depends on exports of fish, minerals, canned goods, corn, lemons, wine and bananas. Manzanillo is accessible by train, highway, and served by domestic commercial airlines.
