 My Town - Colima

by César Alejandro Tolentino Mendoza, 21

I live in Colima, a captivating city tucked away in the west of Mexico, known for its awe-
inspiring landscapes and riveting culture. The prominent presence of “Volcán de Colima”,
an active volcano, forms a unique and spectacular skyline for our city.

Traditional folk dances and music are the heartbeat of Colima, perfectly encapsulating the
rich cultural history of Mexico. Every weekend, the city resonates with the rhythmic beats
of 'Son Jarocho' performances - a spectacle I eagerly anticipate.

What makes Colima dear to me is its vast array of attractions beyond its cultural allure. For
art enthusiasts, the University Museum of Folk Art holds a trove of traditional Mexican
artistry. Nature lovers can revel in the mystic beauty of the “La Campana” archeological site
or the serene surroundings of the Nunez Garden.

For those with a spirit of adventure, the Ecological Park of “El Palapo” offers exciting
opportunities for hiking and bird watching. From indulging in our unique regional cuisine to
participating in the vibrant “Feria de Todos los Santos”, there's a multitude of experiences
waiting. ¡Come, discover the charm of Colima for yourself!
