Tecomán, Agricultural center in Colima, Mexico
Tecomán is a town in Colima, Mexico, located in an agricultural region along the Pacific coast. The surroundings consist of fields, fruit orchards, and hilly terrain that covers the entire area.
The settlement was founded by Spanish colonizers in 1523 and grew from native territory into an agricultural center. This early Spanish founding laid the groundwork for the region's economic focus.
The town has been shaped by lime farming for generations, and this tradition remains central to local life today. Many families work in fruit orchards and sell their harvests at regional markets.
You can reach the town via Federal Highway 200, about 50 kilometers south of Colima City, with regular bus services to larger regional centers. The best time to explore is outside the wettest months, when roads are in better condition.
The area is defined by two lagoons—Amela and Alcuzahue—surrounded by natural vegetation and home to a protected crocodile population. These wetlands are important for birds and other wildlife, offering a contrast to the built-up town.
