Manzanillo is a port city in the western Mexican state of Colima. With a population of around a hundred thousand people, Manzanillo is not one of the largest cities in Mexico. But the port of the city is the busiest in the country, and is also home to the Mexican Navy’s Fuerza Naval del Pacifico (Pacific Navy). It also hosts a sailfish fishing tournament each year.

The town is well known internationally as a deep sea fishing port. Although the airport is small, it has been renovated recently, and is better able to service the large numbers of tourists visiting the place each year.

Manzanillo is calm, peacful, but also beautiful and energetic. If you plan to visit Mexico, and would like to explore a location that is still left unattended by the tourism industry, Manzanillo may be your best choice.
