Cuautitlán de García Barragán
Cuautitlán de García Barragán is a tiny town of some 2,000 inhabitants located roughly 2,900 feet above Cihuatlan and the Barra de Navidad and Melaque area in the Sierra Manantlán. Cuautitlán has been interpreted as meaning either place in the trees or place where there is lots of firewood in Náhuatl.
This beautiful area is forested with both deciduous and coniferous trees. Conquered by Spain in 1522, directly after the conquest of Colima, it features a beautiful over 200-year old Church and some other Colonial architecture. The two main industries in the area are farming and ranching.
