|
Mazatlán, located in the south of the state of Sinaloa, on the Pacific Coast, is a city with a 17 km shoreline under a brilliant sun The rainy season in summer is followed by a long dry period. Its marine fauna and sea birds make Mazatlán ideal for nature lovers. The islands facing the wide bay, including Crestón Island (the site of the world’s highest lighthouse at 157m above sea level), are Mazatlán’s distinctive symbols.
Mazatlán always has surprises. Wandering through the city and its historic center, sunbathing on magnificent beaches, traveling to the islands using every imaginable form of transport, gazing at the horizon from hills such as El Faro and El Cerro de la Nevería, enjoying one of the most elaborate regional seafood cuisines, participating in the carnival, sailing, and sport fishing make your visit a great vacation!
Just south of the Tropic of Cancer, Mazatlán is one of the most important ports on Mexico’s Pacific Coast. This city is one of the country’s oldest tourist resorts and also the site of one of the world’s three major carnivals, comparable only to those in New Orleans and Rio de Janeiro. Mazatlan's celebration is a pre-lent event. But that’s not all. Mazatlán is an attractive hospitable city that has everything: excellent cuisine, extensive beaches with state-of-the-art water sports facilities, and an unusual degree of cultural/architectural richness.
