Mexico (no surprise) is one of the most visited and coveted locations on the planet when it comes to travel. It’s easy to get to, easy to get around and has almost too much to do once you get there. Mexico City is the shining star of the country, but there are so many other places that will grab your attention once you’re aware. Here, we highlight a place that should definitely be on your list . . Mazatlán.
It’s a truly vibrant coastal city in Mexico and offers a unique blend of old-world charm, modern amenities, and a laid-back atmosphere. Here’s why it’s an unusual choice for a holiday. The best part is that it’s affordable and ever -accessible.
When you land there, you’ll immediately be impressed by what it has to offer, logically in comparison to Mexico City. They’re both awe-inspiring – especially if you’ve never been to Mexico. Start by exploring the historic center of Mazatlán, with its colorful colonial buildings, cobblestone streets, and charming plazas.
It’s Mexico, for sure, but the vibe is something else entirely. After walking the streets and soaking in the atmosphere (and food!) you can savour the modern side of Mazatlán in the Golden Zone, a lively district with luxury hotels, upscale restaurants, and a vibrant nightlife.
Mexico is always good value, but Mazatlán offers a high-quality experience at a relatively affordable price compared to other popular tourist destinations. And, as ever, history is just around every corner. Click here.
Once you’ve landed, physically and mentally, take the historic and downright fun Funicular, the star of the show. Step into history on this unforgettable and ride.
Admire the greatness of the port from the top of the Cerro del Vigia where you will live a trip to the past inside one of the oldest buildings in the city, where at the same time you will share the pleasure of knowing traditions in the mezcal process and being part of nature, participating in the conservation of rescued birds in a space of care and education.
