Completely Colima

Some of the most instantly recognisable symbols of Colima are the perros cebados, ceramic sculptures of small, fat, hairless dogs that were once a prehispanic tradition, and today fill the craft shops and street stalls of the state. The dogs themselves, known as Techichi or Escuincle, were relatives of the Chihuahua and Xoloitzcuintle (Mexican hairless) and were bred for their healing properties, talents as guard dogs, and the fact they made for a tasty barbecue.

Holidays in Colima, Mexico

Planes, trains, automobiles, or maybe even helicopter – we tell you the best way to go.

Planes
12km outside the city of Colima, the dinky airport of Miguel de la Madrid receives daily Aeromar flights from Mexico City’s Benito Juarez. Sunset flights are highly recommended – secure a window seat and check out the stunning volcano views.
Trains
Mexico is sparse on railway lines, but big on buses (try Uno – www.uno.com.mx). Flying, however, is the most efficient way to cover some of the bigger distances involved.
Automobiles
Driving in Mexico is relatively easy and the roads are generally well maintained. However, venture far from the main highways and you’ll be in dirt track territory – rent a 4x4 if you intend to explore in depth. (www.alamo.com).
