Ndi miyezi itatu kapena inayi yokha yamvula pachaka, Colima adakwanitsa kuthana ndi zofunikira pamoyo wamunthu chifukwa cha mitsinje yambiri yochokera kumtunda kwa Volcán de Fuego. Umboni ukusonyeza kuti munthu adakhazikika m'chigwachi pafupifupi 1,500 BC.
Chikhalidwe chotchedwa Complejo Capacha chinali mabungwe azolimo komanso okhalitsa omwe adakhazikitsa miyambo yotchuka ya manda a shaft: zipinda zanyumba zogona momwe zoperekera zopitilira muyeso zimapezedwa kudzera mu shaft yozungulira komanso yozungulira kuyambira 1.20 mpaka 1.40 mamita awiri. Ku likulu la zisangalalo la Tampumachay, m'tawuni ya Los Ortices, kuli manda atatu okhala ndi shaft yoyambirira ndi zipinda zamkati, komanso mkati mwa zotengera zamiyala zingapo ndi zida zoperekedwa kwa akufa.
Pomwe chipembedzo chimakhala cholemera kwambiri pagulu, kuyambira 600 AD, malo amwambo adayamba kumangidwa kuchokera kumabwalo, mabwalo amalire ndi nsanja zamakona zazithunzi zazikulu. Malo okhala zovuta kwambiri sanapangidwe mpaka 900 AD itadutsa.
Malo omwe akuyimira bwino gawo ili ndi La Campana. Ndi nyumba yayikulu - madera ake azikhalidwe amapitilira mahekitala 50 - motsatizana kwa nsanja zamakona anayi. Pamwamba pa nsanjazi pali madera omwe mwina akukhudzana ndi kusungira mbewu. Palinso malo okhala ovuta omwe mosakayikira amayenera kukhala ndi atsogoleri aboma komanso achipembedzo.
Zinthu ziwiri zikuwonekera patsamba lino: malo amanda am'tsinde ophatikizidwa m'malo azikondwerero komanso kukhalapo kwa maukonde ovuta ndi ngalande zamadzi.
Malo ena ofunikira ofukula mabwinja ku Colima ndi El Chanal, yomwe ili pafupifupi 6 km kumpoto kwa mzindawu, yomwe iyenera kuti inali ndi mahekitala 200 okha. Momwe imafalikira kumabanki onse awiri a Mtsinje wa Colima, imadziwika kuti El Chanal Este ndi El Chanal Oeste. Otsatirawa, ngakhale sanafufuzidwe bwino, akuwonetsa zovuta, popeza ili ndi mabwalo, mabwalo, nyumba, ngalande ndi misewu. El Chanal Este, mbali inayi, idawonongedwa chifukwa tawuni yamakono yomwe idadziwika ndi dzina lake idakhazikitsidwa pamabwinja ake.
Kufufuza kukuwonetsa kuti pamalopo pali zinthu zowonetsa za kachisi wapawiri, lingaliro la benchi-guwa lansembe ndi maguwa-nsanja zazing'onozing'ono, komanso ziboliboli zambiri, zojambula ndi miyala; ziwerengero zokhudzana ndi Xantiles; zoumba za polychrome zimapanga ziwombankhanga ndi njoka zam nthenga; ndipo potsiriza, chitsulo. Koma chinthu chodziwikiratu pa chikhalidwe ichi ndi kupezeka kwa zochitika zam'mizinda komanso kukhalako kwa kalendala.
