When it comes to Mazatlan, the question is never what to do but how to actually learn to have the best of everything it can offer. Most definitely, you will realize that 24 hours will never be enough to experience a real Mazatlan lifestyle.
Thus, just so you don't end up missing half of your lifetime, make sure that you can do these 5 things while you're there:
1. Play a sport. Mexicans are highly competitive people. It's no wonder that there are plenty of sports and, of course, sports facilities that you can find all over Mazatlan. The tropical weather and breeze make golf one of the most favorite games to play. You can start your tee time at El Cid Gulf. You can also choose among any of their 13 tennis courts. After every play, head to the clubhouse for a quick grab of a sandwich and juice made from freshly picked fruit.
2. Venture into the countryside. Mazatlan is known for its quaintness. It may not be as progressive as Acapulco, but it offers more natural sceneries, which could be just what one needs to forget the daily grind of life. The outlying areas are the most ideal places to go to. You can always settle for a trek up to the foothills of the Sierra Madre, which is located in Concordia. You can also move on to Copola, where you can find one of the oldest churches all over Mexico. There are also hundreds of colonial-style houses erected, as well as cobbled streets. The baroque churches are also worth snapshots from your digital cameras.
3. Fish. Mazatlan, just like the rest of the towns in Mexico, is blessed with very rich marine life. There are countless species of fish you can find in its waters, which include wahoo, shrimp, grouper, marlin, sailfish, and tuna. That's why besides ordinary fishing, you can also go for sport fishing. You can even participate in their sports fishing events, which can happen annually. There are also restaurants that will allow you to fish in the area, so you can have your own catch prepared for your lunch or dinner.
4. Watch a bullfight. If you think that bullfight cheers are only heard in Spain, wait until you can go to Mazatlan. On Sundays, as well as on special occasions in the city, people would proceed to Plaza Monumental to watch the bull fights. You can see their raging bulls rummaging any red cloth waved by their handsome and hunky matadors. During summer, you can also watch rodeos, where hundreds of Mexican cowboys would ride their own horse breed for some pesos and more fun.
5. Enjoy some water activities. Mazatlan has several unexplored beaches, such as Zona Dorada, Plaja Bruja, and Plaza Los Cerritos. The waves are ideal for surfing and water skiing, while the blue-green waters are perfect for snorkeling and diving. What's more, privacy is well-kept.
However, you have to pair these activities with an excellent accommodation. After all, you need a really good place to stay in for the night. A highly recommended choice is a Grupo Mayan hotel. You can dine in their own café, retire in a very soft bed, or get yourself a massage or a spa.
Don't let the quietness of Mazatlan fool you. There are different types of activities that you can do, which will definitely make your vacation here truly one of a kind and memorable.
