La Cumbre - Colima

Access Notes

Upon reaching Colima, go to the Hotel Costeño, which is out point of reunion, and is located at 1001 Carlos de la Madrid Bejar Boulevard (see the map section Ander Lodging). Once there, take the highway towards Jiquilpan. At the first kilometer (slightly more that half a mile) there will be a concrete police shack on your right-hand side. After another 3 kilometers (almost 2 miles) there is a small bridge overlooking the El Salado. One more kilometer (about half a mile) and on your right there is the entrance road to the village of Piscila, the landing zone in front of take-off. If you are going directly to take-off, do not turn in here, but continue on the highway. Two more kilometers (1.25 miles) alter passing the entrance to the crossroads (Jiquilpan-Piscila), there is an cobblestone road to the right of the highway (it appears just as one comes around a curve). There is a concrete shack on the left-side of this entrance and a white metal cattle-gate (usually open, but not locked if closed). There is only one cobblestone road and will lead directly to take-off. Once there one will see a large rectangular concrete structure for holding water with a chapel at the far end, topped by a statue of the Virgin.
