Zona Magica Colima

An interesting stop for a few minutes is the Zona Magica on the road from Comala to Suchitlan, various lakes in the area and good volcano views. I've stopped numerous times, usually with a friend that has not been to the area or tested the phenomenon.

There are laterals (side roads) in this section so you don't get a lot of cars stopping in the middle of the highway. You can either pull off to the side or if you're sure there is no traffic stop on the highway. In the right location, your car will roll uphill, water will run uphill ... and my favorite, a beer can will roll uphill ... while you swear they should go the other way

Even though there are stories of magnetic forces in the area ... I'm convinced it's simply an optical illusion. A combination of the landscape and the road construction ... but that spoils all the fun.

Bro, have you been there. I have and I thought it was an optical illusion and I looked at the road from various places and angles, and the road is going down.

I was there in Dec 2013. My watch altimeter measures feet above sea level did go down a few feet as I walked downhill.
