Lakes
Estuary surrounded by little-disturbed mangroves on Tecomán's coast, with four mangrove species. Visitors tour it by boat to see pelicans, diving ducks, ospreys, iguanas and, with luck, white-tailed deer; crocodiles live here too, so keep your distance. It lies next to a gray-sand beach and has been proposed as a protected natural area.
Lakes
Lagoon about two kilometers long set among hills, east of Tecomán, with reed beds, waterbirds and fishing. There are pre-Hispanic remains at El Mirador and on Devil's Island, and legend says an enchanted town lies beneath the water. The Tecomán crocodile farm is very close by. It is best to visit with community guides and to be careful around crocodiles.
Lakes
Large body of water almost six kilometers long between hills covered in vegetation, southeast of Tecomán; it also works as a dam and is Colima's largest reservoir by capacity. Its shores have reed beds and it is a quiet place for small-boat outings and for fishing tilapia and catfish with the local cooperative's permission. There are no services, so bring food and water.
Archaeology
Opened in 2003, this museum offers a look at the ancient history of western Mesoamerica. Its collection centers on death, with tombs and funerary offerings, and explains the cultural geography of today's Colima, Jalisco and Nayarit. It is located in the Tecomán Casa de la Cultura complex and admission is free.
Parks
Crocodile park in the municipality of Tecomán, on the road to Laguna de Alcuzahue, where crocodiles of different sizes can be seen from a bridge and protected walkways. It has an open-air theater, a small museum, restrooms and parking. It is a stop near the lagoon for those exploring the Tecomán area.
Pools & spas
Public pools inside the Tecomán Metropolitan Park, a park of about 19 hectares with trails and children's play areas that the state government reopened in 2024. During school holidays entry is free with Civil Protection staff on site; the rest of the year the pools run on reduced days and hours with a small recovery fee.
