Went again yesterday - Sunday. Best visit on a week-day or Saturday morning.
I forgot to check the time driving from Ajijic, but I would guess about 90 minutes to 2 hours depending upon how touristy your driving speed is.
Technical - From Ajijic, drive through Jocotepec turning towards Guad on highway 15. Join highway 54 going towards Guad and continue until you reach Sta. Cruz de las Flores. Take the Retorno back towards Colima and immediately exit right before the highway overpass to join that highway to Tala. (See Tony Burton's book about the incredible church in Las Flores). Continue on highway past Tala until you reach highway 70. Turn left towards Puerto Vallarta. One mile later you will turn right off this highway and start on highway 4 towards Teuchitlan. At Teuchitlan turn right at the Pemex and go through the town and out the other side where the newly laid cobblestone road will take you directly to the ruins. You can easily spend 2-3 hours there. There are guides there who will escort you in a group - if you want. The tours are in Espanol.
The drive is beautiful through open agricultural lands with mountains in the distance including the Tequila volcano.
If you start early enough you can return by continuing on highway 4 to Magdalena (opals) where you can either do the Cuota through to Guad to get home, or, stick to the libramiento and go through Tequila first.
Enjoy!
