Mazatlán Information

Mazatlan is nestled along Mexico’s western coastline in the state of Sinaloa. The beach city was founded by Spaniards in the early mid-1500s. Later on, immigrants from several countries such as China, Germany, and Italy settled into the city which, in time, influenced Mazatlan’s culture. The city borders the Pacific Ocean and is adjacent to the southern edge of the Baja California Peninsula. As a result, the area has a tropical climate with heavy humidity during the summer season.

With more than 20 miles of shoreline, the city is home to many stunning beaches. Arguably the most frequented beach is Olas Atlas which is near downtown. Olas Atlas has a vibrant boardwalk that offers visitors an opportunity to see historic landmarks and statues like The Deer, Pedro Infante Monument, and The Shield. Norte Beach is also in proximity to downtown and features culturally significant monuments. A couple of other notable beaches include El Delfin Beach and Sábalo Beach. The Mazatlan Aquarium has a radiant reputation throughout Latin America. The comprehensive institution offers a place for marine animals to dwell and a botanical garden replete with an aviary, frog pond, sea lions, crocodiles, and desert plant ecosystem. Mazatlan hosts a great number of annual festivals and events. Every spring, there is the José Limón International Dance Festival as well as the Pacific International Triathlon in April. For over a century, the seaside city has celebrated the International Carnival of Mazatlan, an energetic event that begins on the Sunday prior to Mardi Gras and ends on Fat Tuesday. Attracting travelers from all over the world, the seasonal celebration involves parades, concerts, Banda Sinaloa music, and bright costumes.

About an hour’s drive southeast from the city is Isla de la Piedra (Stone Island). Although technically a peninsula instead of an island, this place is a popular getaway known for its extensive stretches of gorgeous, undeveloped land and sandy beach. Horseback riding, water sports, and dining are common pastimes at Stone Island. Situated approximately an hour’s worth of driving northwest of Mazatlan is the town of El Quelite. The quaint village is scenic and contains houses displaying classical Spanish architectural elements. Points of interest in El Quelite include a local bakery with a brick burning oven, rooster farm, and humble candy stand.

The majority of vacation rentals in Mazatlan are breathtaking villas and condos with spectacular views and easy access to the beach. Enjoy a luxury suite overlooking the ocean or an apartment in the historic downtown area. There are over 500 amazing properties in the city to choose from.

Pulmonias are small taxis akin to gulf carts that are a popular way to get around the city. To travel to areas outside of the city, the most efficient mode of transportation are taxis. There is a major highway called the Durango-Mazatlan highway located in the city. Furthermore, General Rafael Buelna International Airport offers both domestic and international daily flights to the U.S. and Canada.
