Manzanillo (/ˌmænzəˈniːoʊ/, /ˌmɑːn-/; Spanish pronunciation: [mansaˈniʝo]) is the most populous city in the Mexican state of Colima and seat of Manzanillo Municipality. The city, located on the Pacific Ocean, contains Mexico's busiest port, responsible for handling Pacific cargo for the Mexico City area.
