Click on photos to enlarge Manzanillo is located 165 miles south of Puerto Vallarta in the central western part of Mexico. The Pacific Ocean lies to the southwest, with balmy sea breezes almost all day long. In the early evenings, refreshing breezes flow from the mountains to the sea, once again cooling off the day.
Summer is a time of growth and fresh air, of renewal and cleansing.
Almost all hurricanes of the Pacific go past Manzanillo and end up near Pto. Vallarta and Mazatlan, or journey up the coast to Baja California. The reason Manzanillo's name always appears in the news when a hurricane bulletin or warning is issued, is because we have the weather tracking station which issues all the reports for the Pacific Coast. Predictions for the year 2001 remain along these same lines. Your chances of encountering a tropical storm or hurricane when visiting Manzanillo are almost zero.
