One Mexican resort is just like another, “ a friend told me.  “Lots of sand, sun and greasy bodies.”   At first glance Manzanillo, Mexico may seem to fit that description, but we find it to be much more than just a day at the beach.

To understand the appeal of Manzanillo you need to know that it is located in the State of Colima, Mexico’s fourth smallest state.  Colima’s attractions range from colonial history to geological wonders like active volcanoes, to natural settings from jungles to rain forests, as well as, to five-star resorts offering excellent cuisine and beautiful beaches.

But, foremost, you must understand that Manzanillo’s greatest treasure is its people.

Manzanillo is located on the Pacific Coast about half way between Acapulco and Puerto Vallarta.  From Los Angeles it’s an easy three-hour flight aboard Alaska Airlines to Manzanillo — where it’s always summertime and the living is easy.  

So, Sit back, Relax and Enjoy -- and let Travelscope's audio-documentaries and video take you south of the border to Manzanillo and the Costa Allegre — the Happy Coast.
