Mazatlán always has surprises in store. Its multiple, complex nature makes boredom impossible. Wandering through the city and its historic center, sunbathing on its magnificent beaches, traveling to the islands using every imaginable form of transport, and gazing at the horizon from hills such as El Faro and El Cerro de la Neverķa, enjoying one of the most elaborate regional seafood cuisines, participating in the carnival, sailing or sport fishing are some of the things that have made Mazatlán famous the world over. Mazatlán is one of the best spots on the Mexican Pacific for marlin and sailfish fishing. The excellent services at the docks mean that a very large number of boats can compete in the annual fishing tournaments. Experts in the sport also give courses on the art of deep-sea fishing.

| Just south of the Tropic of Cancer, Mazatlán is the most important port on Mexico's Pacific Coast. Full of contrasts, this city is one of the country's oldest tourist resorts and the site of one of the world's three major carnivals, comparable only to those in New Orleans and Rio de Janeiro. 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 and architectural richness for a coastal resort.
