Me ʻekolu a ʻehā mau mahina ua wale nō i ka makahiki, ua hiki iā Colima ke hoʻokō i nā kūlana kūpono no ke ola kanaka ma muli o nā kahawai he nui mai nā wahi kiʻekiʻe o ka Volcán de Fuego. Hōʻike nā hōʻike e noho ana ke kanaka ma kēia awāwa ma kahi o 1,500 BC.
ʻO ka moʻomeheu i ʻike ʻia ʻo Complejo Capacha kahi mahiʻai a me nā kaiāulu kūmau i kū i ka moʻomeheu kaulana o nā hale kupapaʻu lāʻau: nā keʻena hale make kahi e waiho ai nā mōhai a komo ʻia ma o ka lāʻau kū a poepoe hoʻi mai 1.20 a 1.40. m i ke anawaena. Ma ke kikowaena hoʻokipa ʻo Tampumachay, ma ke kaona o Los Ortices, aia ʻekolu mau hale kupapaʻu me ka lāʻau kumu a me nā waihona, a ma loko o kahi o nā moku pōhaku a me nā pono hana i hāʻawi ʻia i ka poʻe make.
I ka wā i ʻoi aku ka nui o ka hoʻomana i loko o ka hui kaiaulu, mai 600 AD, hoʻomaka ke kūkulu ʻana i nā wahi hoʻolauleʻa mai nā kahua, nā pā hale a me nā pae huinahā kiʻekiʻe o nā ana. ʻAʻole i hoʻomohala nā wahi ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana a hiki i ka hala ʻana o 900 AD.
ʻO La Campana kahi e hōʻike pono ai i kēia pae. He noho nui ia - ua ʻoi aku ka nui o kāna wahi ma 50 mau hectares - me kahi kuʻina o nā pae huinahā like. Ma ka piko o kēia mau paepae aia paha nā wahi e pili ana i ka mālama ʻana i ka palaoa. Aia kekahi ʻōnaehana noho paʻakikī e kānalua ʻia e noho ʻia e nā alakaʻi kūloko a me nā hoʻomana.
Kū ʻelua mau hiʻohiʻona i kēia pūnaewele: kahi o nā hale kupapaʻu i hoʻohui ʻia i loko o nā wahi noihana a me ke ola ʻana o kahi pūnaewele paʻakikī o nā kahawai a me nā ʻauwai wai.
ʻO kekahi kahua archaeological koʻikoʻi ma Colima ʻo El Chanal, aia ma kahi o 6 km ma ke kūkulu ʻākau o ke kūlanakauhale, kahi i hoʻonui ʻia me 200 hectares.
