Driving Distances and times from Colima City to Manzanillo
When in Colima, one of the most common questions is how long will it take to get from the city of Colima to the beaches of Manzanillo. Highway 190 to Manzanillo is the easiest to navigate and offers the best road conditions; however, it takes you at least a couple of hours out of your way south, and is therefore not the best option unless of course you plan to visit Salina Cruz or Huatulco on your way to Manzanillo. There is a super highway under construction that when completed should take less than 2 hours to reach the coastal cities in Colima. Until then the best route is Highway 175. Although Manzanillo is not that far approximately 170 miles, it will take a skilled driver a minimum of 6 to 8 hours to drive. The trip will take you over narrow windy mountainous roads. If you get car sick you may want to think about flying. Below is a list of driving distances and times along Highway 175 from Colima City to Manzanillo. We offer maps and driving directions to Manzanillo.
