Journey into Mexico's soul on a private drive to Colima — one of the country's most beautifully preserved colonial capitals — and the ethereal 'White Village' of Comala, where cobblestoned plazas, artisan markets, and mezcal-sipping traditions have endured for centuries.
What to expect
Your private guide collects you at the pier and drives you up to Colima's grand Jardín de Libertad, where the 16th-century Cathedral and Government Palace frame a living slice of colonial Mexico. From there you wind up to cloud-draped Comala — nicknamed the 'White Village' for its whitewashed facades — where a leisurely lunch of pozole and tostadas is served under the portales. Artisan workshops offer hand-painted Talavera and carved wood pieces worth seeking out. The return route hugs lush Pacific foothills, delivering you comfortably back before all-aboard.
Good to know
Full-day excursion; Colima is ~1.5 hrs each way — depart by 8 AM to be safe. Pre-book a private vehicle to guarantee pace and return timing. All-aboard is typically 5–6 PM; confirm with your ship.
