Colima Mexico by Merry Marquand

El Chanal" (1,100-1,400 years after Christ) is one of the most famous archaeological zones in Colima. It is located near the green river in Colima city, about five kilometers from the urban zone. The size of that site was very big -- one hundred fifty hectares -- now most of the territory is Villa de Álvarez and Colima. There are thirteen amazing pyramids (not very tall), five "Tumbas de Tiro" (graves), small figures (the little dogs), monoliths, wall paintings, ornaments, gardens, wonderful engineering constructions, and more. Almost all the figures are in the regional museum, located at Calzada Galvan #233. Aniceto Castellanos found this ruin in 1944. If you want to know more about the history of "El Chanal," don't worry, there is a man who knows everything about that, his name is Leonardo and he always is in the offices, so I am sure that he will answer all the questions that you have.
