The Kuhlman family from the Netherlands. After planning the tour for a couple of days, we finally decided to go for it. We picked them up at the Colima bus station because they were staying at Mazanillo. On the Nevado Volcano we ran into my good friend Andrew Burton a tour collegue. Once we reached 4000 meters = 13,123 feet we explained the different types of volcanoes, eruptions and hazards. We took a lot of pictures and headed back to base for a good lunch. Headed back to Colima so they could catch there ETN bus back to Manzanillo. On the way back they recommend that this tour should be an overnight in Colima

La Molienda 36
Visita de Luli y Gerardo P. de Guadalajara a la Molienda 36. Son de nuestros primeros visitantes en poder entrar a esta nueva sección de la hacienda de Nogueras, el nombre de la molienda proviene de estar conformada por 36 arcos, aqui era la molienda para el azucar, cafe, aceite de limon y alimento de los animales de la hacienda. Fué construida en 1878.
Parecia que nos lloveria ese dia pero solo fué un par de nubes y uno que otro rayo. Salimos temprano y pudimos llegar de regreso sin nigun problema.
"No extrañe no ver el volcán por la bruma tan bella . . . . " Luli

Coffee Canyon trekking, Coffee factory and obscurred volcanoes by clouds
Michael M. from New Mexico, USA on a tailored tour it rained the day before all night so we were hoping to have a clear view of the Volcanoes. Early morning you could see them, but they got covered with clouds very fast. We had a great trek, through coffee, sugar plantations, as well as, guaba, fig and parota trees. Everything is so nice and green. Beautiful scenery & great coffee!
