Itinerary description
Starting from the Colima Toll Road we ascend to Terrero via the highway to Minantitlán. This is now paved with two parallel strips of concrete all the way up. We then return to Colima via Campo 4. This part is only partly paved, but was in fine shape when I went there in September of 2019. Be sure you have brakes in great condition and are able to put your car in low or first gear for the descent. As you go up and down, you will pass through 5 ecosystems!
