This booming resort town, a 12 hour drive from the U.S. border, is rapidly expanding along the coastline of the Mexican state of Sinaloa. As a major commercial fishing port it boasts Mexico's largest shrimp fleet and superb sport-fishing. Mazatlan, "The Pacific Pearl", perched on a headland which firmly separates harbor and tourist activities, has a life of its own and a laid-back old town atmosphere. Its position due east of the southern tip of Baja California, at the confluence of the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean, graces it with warm waters, a constantly balmy climate and year-round an abundance of marlin and sailfish. Mazatlan distinguishes itself from the rest of the Mexican beach destinations because of its rich history and also because it is a city concerned about its image and its culture. This extraordinary combination of beautiful beaches, awesome natural attractions and luxurious hotels, and resorts, together with a wonderfully preserved historic center, a variety of cultural events and the warm hospitality of the people gives Mazatlan a unique balance. Lower cost accommodations are also available. It is the second largest port city in Mexico in size, after Acapulco, and just behind Veracruz in its port activity. You can reserve a room at any Mazatlan hotel or resort on our reservation services, or just check out availability. All inclusive and regular rooms are available at all price ranges. The lives of Mazatlan's' inhabitants pleasantly passes by amidst fantastic celebrations, such as the Mazatlan Carnival, considered the second best in Mexico, the local baseball team called The Venados and their passionate fans, the bullfights and the callejoneadas, public parties in the streets to which everyone is invited. More than a tourist, on your Mazatlan vacations you will be welcomed like an old friend, and many Americans and Canadians retire to Mazatlan. |
