If you’re looking for a nature getaway to escape Guadalajara, there’s a little-known spot in Colima where you can take a dip, relax under the trees, and take a break from the city for a while.
This is Piedra Acampanada, a natural spa located in the municipality of Coquimatlán. This place is part of the so-called Coquimatlán Water Route, an area of Colima known for its springs, rivers, and natural spaces surrounded by vegetation.
Unlike large water parks, the experience here is much more rustic and focused on enjoying the scenery: there are pools and areas of crystal-clear water, places to relax, spots to eat, and even the option to camp.
What’s there at Piedra Acampanada?
Piedra Acampanada is a great option for a family day out because it combines water, nature, and places to relax.
You can bring food for a picnic, take a dip, walk around the area, or simply settle down in the shade and spend the afternoon.
It’s located in Pueblo Juárez, in the municipality of Coquimatlán, Colima. From Guadalajara, you can drive there by heading toward Colima and then on to Coquimatlán.
Once in the area, head toward Pueblo Juárez and follow the local signs to Piedra Acampanada. The last stretch is on a dirt road, so it’s advisable to drive carefully.

If you’re going with children, it’s also a good idea to bring water shoes for more comfortable walking in the water areas and to check the river conditions before letting them swim.
