Zona Mágica de Comala
A stretch of about 300 meters of the Comala–Suchitlán road, near kilometer 6, where a car in neutral, a bottle or even water seems to roll uphill instead of downhill. Students from the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Colima studied it in 2016 and attributed it to an optical illusion of the terrain. It is a roadside curiosity for a short stop, between Comala and Suchitlán.
