Mazatlan is self-sufficient with industries other than tourism, which means you’ll find it to be a more relaxed environment than other Mexican hotspots. And that means you’ll be able to enjoy more of the Mexican culture. The prices here are also more affordable than in other areas.
The Golden Zone seems to be the area for hotels and thus you’ll also find it to be the place to go for great cuisine, shopping and beaches. Its also home to the famous Fiesta Land, a very cool building that offers hot Mexican entertainment. Mazatlan’s Carnival is quite legendary. It keeps up with places like New Orleans and Rio as being one fantastic street party. If you’re not able to make for the party, you know that its still got a lot to offer considering that it does have a great reputation for putting on a great show.
Its historic center, great fishing, thriving nightlife and fantastic cuisine all make Mazatlan a great place to enjoy a sun filled holiday. Exploring Old Mazatlan is the place to see restored historic buildings, especially in the aptly named Historic Zone. Go on your own tour or with an organized group – either way, you’ll love the beautiful sites. Make your way to the Mercado Central, an open-air market located in downtown Mazatlan. You could also try to see El Faro, one of the tallest lighthouses in the world. Located just outside of Mazatlan, it stands proud atop a 500 ft cliff. Although the waters around Mazatlan are filled with beautiful sea life, the Acuario Mazatlan is a fantastic aquarium to see sharks and eels up close… and you won’t have to worry about tempting them. Stroll along the Malecón and enjoy the fantastic sunsets. It borders the beach so you won’t have to tear yourself away from the beautiful water.
Dining in Mazatlan is quite an experience. Home to Pacifico Brewery, a well known Mexican beer, and an impressive shrimp and fish market, you’ll be able to wash down and fill up on some of the freshest cuisine available.
