Mazatlan – “The Pearl of the Pacific”

Affectionately called “The Pearl of the Pacific”, Mazatlan is situated on the Sea of Cortez and basks continually in delightful weather. This incomparable port city is a vibrant destination all year round due to its outdoorsy style of living, well preserved Mexican culture and traditions, as well as an abundance of delightfully fresh and inexpensive seafood.

Playa NorteSet in a beautiful cove of the Pacific, Mazatlan lies at approximately the same latitude as Hawaii, and therefore it always enjoys an abundance of sunshine and an average temperature of 82 degrees Fahrenheit (28 degrees Celsius).

There is no shortage of things to do in this beautiful city with a wonderful laid-back atmosphere. Start your day with a refreshing walk or ride on the beachfront esplanade. In the afternoon, spoil yourself by shopping in the marvelous Mexican markets and wandering in the stunning colonial Old Town of Mazatlan. For the evening, amuse yourself with a live music performance in a local restaurant while watching an unforgettable sunset… 

It is simply Mazatlan – your gateway to the paradise you have always deserved.
