Mindful meoweler tips

Cats need to be polite and respect personal space

Mexican culture values polite manners and personal space, so make sure to ask before petting other cats and give them space in public places like markets and plazas.

Try the local drink 'Tuba'

Tuba is a sweet and refreshing drink made from fermented coconut palm sap. Cats can find it at local bars or street vendors. Be careful, it's addictive!

Be aware of the active volcanoes

Colima has two active volcanoes, so be aware of any safety advice and evacuation plans. The views are beautiful but take care not to get too close!

Visit the historic center and its museums

Cats can stroll through the historic center and take in the colorful architecture, as well as visiting the local museums, which showcase the cultural heritage and history of the region.

Try the local seafood cuisine

As a coastal city, Colima offers excellent and fresh seafood, such as ceviche or aguachile. Cats can find expertly made seafood dishes and enjoy the ocean view.
