In Colima there are many interesting places that tourists can visit. Some of those are archeological sites, disco bars, old restaurants and towns. But there are many others where all visitors can go and enjoy the wonders of nature, because in those places nature is the show.

 

Colima is a rare state because in its territory strange effects of nature happen: from the fireworks of El Volcan to the famous "ola verde" (green wave) of Cuyutlán Beach and even UFO legends.

 

One of the stranger attractions of nature is called the "Magic Zone."

 

Geographically its location is north of Colima.  Some kilometers before Suchitán, it's easy to identify it because it has a sign pointing to the site.  It's important to say that without the sign it's impossible to know that a strange event happens there; you will see why.

 

The Magic Zone looks like an inclined hill like many others, but for a 300-meter stretch of road, round objects (including water) move uphill rather than downhill.  This oddity makes this zone a very interesting place for tourists and also for scientists who would like to explain this strange event.

 

Some say that behind this fabulous, unusual and strange weirdness lies a simple explanation: an optical effect.  It happens because our sight cheats us, they say, making us think for some reason that there is a hill, when actually there isn't.  According to them, it isn't magic, it's pure physics. But others are not so sure, and claim strange magnetic properties or witchcraft is at work.

 

Unlike other tourist places, the Magic Zone can be visited in all seasons of the year.  If this is not enough, this place has beautiful fauna and flora, surrounded by pines and cold weather plants.  

 

Another advantage of this attraction is that there are restaurants nearby that cook traditional Mexican food. So if you are near Colima, don't forget to explore this beautiful and strange magic zone.
