- Short on tourist attractions the people of Colima well make up for it with their friendliness and hospitality.
I tried the local drink, tuba and slid down a volcanic rock while doing the best I could with the heat, even at the end of October.

20 pesos is the local price. Colima wouldn't scam you.
"Tuba" is actually a Filipino term for coconut wine. The art and process of making 'tuba' was brought to Colima hundred of years ago by Filipino settlers by way of Manila-Acapulco Galleon Trade when both countries were still part of the Spanish Empire. Filipinos settled in Colima and many Colimenses settled in Manila and the Bicol Region of the Philippines.
No mames we made it better

Colima mi estado 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Tubâ, along with coconuts (which are not native to the Americas), was introduced to Mexico in the 16th to 17th centuries via the Manila Galleons to Acapulco. It remains popular in Western Mexico where it is known as tuba, particularly in the states of Colima, Jalisco, Michoacán, and Guerrero.
The Filipinos introduced many cultural practices to Mexico, such as the method of making palm wine, called "tubâ",[11][12][13] the mantón de Manila,[14][15][16] the chamoy,[17] and possibly the guayabera (called filipina in Veracruz and the Yucatán Peninsula).[18] Distillation technology for the production of tequila and mezcal was also introduced by Filipino migrants in the late 16th century, via the adaptation of the stills used in the production of Philippine palm liquor (lambanog) which were introduced to Colima with tubâ.[19][20]
Filipino words also entered Mexican vernacular, such as the word for palapa (originally meaning "coconut palm leaf petiole" in Tagalog), which became applied to a type of thatching using coconut leaves that resembles the Filipino nipa hut.[4]
Various crops were also introduced from the Philippines, including coconuts,[21] the Ataulfo and Manilita mangoes,[22][23] abacá, rice, and bananas.
A genetic study in 2018 found that around a third of the population of Guerrero have 10% Filipino ancestry.[3]
20 pesos is not at all overpriced. That's a totally fair local price.
no its not lol
u could buy 2 liter cokes for that price
@@fernandogon19 JAJJAJA I'm from Mexico and it's not true, 2 liter cokes cost more than 30 pesos
Exactly@@kimooshii
Well, I used to slide on that stone in my childhood, I did it hundred of times, and here I am, living in another different country.
Same 😭
Tuba was brought by the early Filipinos the Manila Galleon trade in Mexico 450 yrs ago in Colima and also they taught to plant coconut trees and how to extract sap from the palm.
They also taught the Nahua peoples how to make Mezcal and Tequila, these Filipinos mixed with Indigenous peoples of Mexico and contributed to the development of many Mexican traditions
la piedra lisa, i used to go down it all the time as a kid, and now i'm far away from home but there in spirit
Same, I miss it! 😭
Hola paisana
@@superchesman38same :(
"The three deaths of Maricela Escobedo" definitely broke my heart. I would also recommend watching "Hasta los dientes" on Netflix. Definitely opens up your eyes about the corruption in the Mexican government.
I've seen it on the feed, I'll watch it tonight!
I will check that out too. Thank you for the recommendation!
Yeah!!!! We were just there last year to visit family. It was a beautiful city. So many beautiful squares and plazas. Amazingly clean, and the people were so nice.
I love Colima. Your Spanish comprehension is great
8:56 Tubero looks handsome. I'm intrigued. 😊
The second tuba sales guy was nice and good looking to boot. We have a Colima here in Costa Rica, too.
haha yes
Estaba guapo el secundo si and he spoke english 😍
Soy de tecoman Colima living in New York 👍🏽
Nice video, we will have to consider Colima in our future travel plans. - Marc
thanks Marc! Unless you don't mind the heat or are able to find a place with AC I'd suggest going in the next few months during winter. Even now at the end of October it was too hot for me, too humid. I came back a day early but would have stayed if I had a more comfortable airbnb
@@colibritravel5994, yeah you mentioned that the air bnb didn't have ac. Thanks for the tip about the heat.
@@colibritravel5994 You better be careful in Merida. We were there for two weeks in Feb 2019 and it was 36 or 37 degrees every day. I prefer the temps along the pacific coast - even though I loved the architecture and vibe in Merida (awesome live cumbia music at La Negrita and El Cardinal - I wonder if it is still happening these days).
@@Vancouver_Dan yes, I'm reconsidering starting my journey in Mérida though if I do I'm definitely looking for a place with AC
Great. You tube have been showing me some other Mexican videos. What is better about yours is your engagement with locals in Spanish.
Thanks Gerald! I'm trying to do that more as I get more confident on the camera speaking with others :)
11:20 Definitely looks like a Filipino plaza surrounded by the parish church and government buildings. Even the ornamental plants are the same. LOL. I want to live in Colima.
That tuba drink it’s a bomb, I love it . It tastes great.
one of the many things we the Filipinos share in common with the Mexicans.
@@joiesamaniego3056 Your Tuba is alcoholic?
@@ericgabrielbautistajaimes9187 Yes. Tuba is a popular traditional drink in the Philippines since Pre-colonial times.
@@yeetah42025 interesting, here is only sweet, but no alcoholic
@@ericgabrielbautistajaimes9187 Oh, cool. We have Tuba and Lambanog, Lambanog is the distilled version of Tuba, which has 45-50% alcohol content, while Tuba only has 2-4% alcohol content.
Wow el mercado tine muchos años enexistencia..wow sera unos 100 años en existencia wow saludos
Hi there! My whole family is from Colima! Im leaving next week. On a 8 day vacay. I havent been there in 10 years but my dad and uncles go like 3 times a year. Im pretty excited. By the way your videos are great 😊
Thanks! Have fun!

I love colima, i spent part of my childhood in manzanillo. Beautiful beeches
I was very close to this area last March, but didn't stop... hopefully next time :) Thanks so much for sharing! Great video!
Muy buenos juguetes

Good to see remnants of our Filipino forefathers in Mexico. The state of Guerrero apparently has up to 1/3 of people with up to 10-13% Filipino DNA/ Ancestry. Barra De Navidad in Jalisco, Colima and Acapulco is where Filipinos landed due to the Manila - Acapulco galleon trade. While the Spanish brought over Tlaxcalan warriors to the Philippines to fight Filipinos which is why some Filipinos have trace amounts of Native American / Mexican DNA.

TUBA is a Filipino traditional alcoholic drink made from a coconut tree/palm tree. Tuba arrived in Colima, Mexico due to the Acapulco and Manila Galleon trade.
Hermoso Colima 😍😍
Mi bello Colima como olvidar tantos recuerdos, cuando repartía periódico, a mis 10 años y pasaba todas las tardes jugando fútbol en la piedra lisa, yo vivía por Guerrero a dos cuadras de ahí. Si vas a Colima hoy todo está muy cambiado. Igual de hermosa mi ciudad. En ese tiempo me gustaba ir al estadio San Jorge a ver los Jaguares jugar. 😢
Thanks for being respectful and keeping your mask on as much as possible. Consider having a word of the day in ‘learn Spanish ‘ at end of your video. Might be fun especially if words are more for basic communication. Just a thought and excuse to leave a comment.
3:03 Que feo que hayan escrito ahí... Deberían escribir eso en un lugar donde agreden a las mujeres! No ahí.
Me encantó tu video.
Estoy practicando inglés y entendí todo! Jaja

Historical records
Edit
Colonial-era Filipino immigrants to Mexico are difficult to trace in historical records because of several factors. The most significant factor being the use of the terms indio and chino. In the Philippines, natives were known as indios, but they lost that classification when they reached the Americas, since the term in New Spain referred to Native Americans. Instead they were called chinos, leading to the modern confusion of early Filipino immigrants with the much later Chinese immigrants in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Intermarriage and assimilation into Native American communities also buried the true extent of Filipino immigration, as they became indistinguishable from the bulk of the peasantry.[5][24]
Another factor is the pre-colonial Filipino (and Southeast Asian) tradition of not having last names. Filipinos and Filipino migrants acquired Spanish surnames, either after conversion to Christianity or enforced by the Catálogo alfabético de apellidos during the mid-19th century. This makes it very difficult to trace Filipino immigrants in colonial records.[5]
Love my Colima❤️
I have tried tuba in Acapulco didn’t like to sour not my favorite thanks for showing another city of mexico take care ...your Spanish it’s better ..q bien amigo
Tuba isn’t sour it just taste like alcohol but it’s not alcohol

Extraño mucho a Colima
Muy padre Tu Vídeo y Muy Bonitos Recuerdos ,Sólo una Opinión En Verdad crees que si se llena la Fuente Sería un Gastadero de Agua?

I’m from colima is beautiful
Your videos are pretty interesting. Have good day
Glad you like them!
te falto entrar al barrio de la espana para que bieras la cultura americana
Im from Rincón de López (a small town that’s an hour away from the city) and I love it. I grew up there and I’m going back in a couple of days. Winter is a bit better in my opinion, not as hot but a decent climate. I love seeing people from outside since for me it was uncommon to see while growing up there. The tuba was sold at a good price. When I was little I would buy my tuba for $5-10 (pesos) but last time I went (summer 2020) the price was $20 due to the change of prices. Tuba depends on who makes it and I personally like it with fruit in it. I always ask for a sample since I’m picky with my tuba.
@Tlaloc sanders enserio? Ah perdón, and i miss el charco verde too!!! No he ido since I was a little girl
Whoever the second tuba seller is...😌 hello
Beautiful place love the video
You walked by a Catholic saint when you entered the cathedral. The fenced area.
Nex time to comala.
The price for the small is 20 pesos and medium is 30 and the large is 40 so you didn’t get over charge and is not cuz of your cámara bro
Mexico and Philippines have very similar culture in all ways.
👍👊🇲🇽🇵🇭 Colima/Nayarit/Guerrero/Michoacan are the home state where alot of people have Filipino ancestry.
@@gentilewarrior Yes but only around 10% according to DNA studies.

Filipino tuba drink
When are those Philippines fiestas held?
Thank you for this wonderful video of beautiful Colima. BUT sad to say, probably too hot for me.
Glad you enjoyed it! Nice town but it was too hot for me too
It's humid, I don't even think it's that hot but it's just warm, sometimes hot, and sticky lol :/
@@colibritravel5994 ... That's a shame. The city is so beautiful, but I couldn't handle the humidity or heat. Last year I took my family to Hilton Head, SC and I couldn't leave our apt, even to go to the beach as the water was like bath water. Sooo, am extremely grateful for your videos.
Tuba is a traditional Filipino drink. Early seafarers brought it to Mexico during the Galleon trade. Most of the Filipinos migrated to Mexico settled in Acapulco and Colima area.
Hi cupcake, is it easy to get loritabs over the counter there or anything pain pill related ? Iv just got my passport card and wanted to find out where to go first 🖖
20 pesos es 1 dólar.
Thanks for this video! At 6' 3" I stick out like a sore thumb in Mexico (riding the Metro in CDMX I do feel like a celeb). I have experienced nothing but hospitality and friendliness in Mexico, whether in tourist towns or off the beaten track. I just find that some of the folks in some tourist towns are TOO friendly (looking at you PV) with the constant sales pitches.

Hi. I know this video is from last year, but we are thinking about checking out Colima to live. Someone told me the air quality is not good in Colima. I was wondering if you could comment on this. Thanks, Stan
Go to the ghost towns
What camera do you use for your videos?
gopro hero 8

Ive noticed that wherever you go....there is very little litter to be seen anywhere......better sanitation services, or more civic pride?....or a little of both?.....I'm amazed the authorities permitted the spray painted slogans/graffiti on the walks, however. You rarely see that in Mexico too, I've found....
yeah I hadn't thought about it, probably because I tend to make the videos in the centers of towns where like you mention there is more civic pride. Once you get to more residential or industrial areas you'll notice more blight I believe
I like your videos and I like your darling
Como se llama la cancion?
What exactly is a "sleeping" pill?
Are there any English speaking people in Colima?
Hello love your videos! I was wonder about the safety of Colima. Is it safe?
thanks! I didn't have any problems. It's safe enough
It's very safety, I'm from here and never had any safety problem...
Wondering cost of rooms
I paid like $22 a night for a small 2 bedroom house but no AC. Definitely pay more for a place with AC
US State Dept says that Colima is not so safe. What's your take?
bs
Any plans on visiting manzanillo?
Not for a while at least, I think I might go over to Puerto Vallarta in November once the restrictions lift. In January I'm leaving GDL and heading south to travel Mexico for a year or so

What neighborhood in Guadalajara do u live? And do u recommend
I live by Chapalita. Americana and Providencia are other good neighborhoods
If you want to be out of the city of guadalajara , but still close I'd suggest Tonala. I live in cento Tonala and it's perfect.
20 pesos is not overpriced quit being cheap !! it's very difficult making this drink and not easy to find !!
Cool city but very poor and very unsafem!!
Ey wey mete subs en español nmms
$20 pesos is a very cheap price for coconut wine. No one has treated you wrong nor they have deceived you, in the contrary.... you are getting local price and NO, we dont bargain because of your camara, in fact - if you can turn it off, youd be better off.
I see a mask making sounds. No human there... just some mumbling collection or perking eyes.
Is there still cartel violence in Colima?
Theres cartel violence all over Mexico it never ends, but we always wish and pray that it ends..
i don't respect you bro, why use a bag on only 0.29 cents worth of bananas?
