Colima, Colima. - The Springs of Wellness Ecotourism Zacualpan are known to the inhabitants of the region as Ojo de Agua The Cobano. It is the sum of efforts and intentions of the Federal Government through the National Commission for Indigenous Peoples Development Commission, the State Government through its Ministry of Tourism and the City of Comala. They all cooperated in the planning, organization and operation of sustainable project that guarantees the preservation of the environment, employment for generations and social development.

From the streets you can see across the river the towering walls of the canyon clearly showing the successive layers indicating forgotten eruptions over thousands of years. Most of its nearly 3,000 residents are officially Otomi although they lost their language and traditional dress but in many ways retain their Indian identity.
