A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
Mazatlán, a coastal city in Sinaloa, has attracted international visitors since the era of Hollywood’s golden age, when celebrities flocked for fishing expeditions and social gatherings at Plaza Machado. Established over a century ago, Mazatlán was envisioned by a Filipino banker who prospered from the pearl industry.
This Central Pacific Coast port city offers the best of both worlds: a meticulously restored colonial old town and a ten-mile-long crescent of sandy beach. One of the closest Mexican beach resort destinations to the United States, Mazatlán is a well-established tourist destination that still maintains its Mexican traditions and atmosphere. The vibe is laid back andtranquilo, but there’s no lack of fun thanks to the host of water sports and wildlife watching activities available.
