Embark on a captivating journey as you explore the vibrant culture, beautiful landscapes, and unique history of Mazatlán, Mexico in just three days.

Day 1 - Diving Deep into the Heart of Mazatlán

We kickstart our Mazatlán escapade by heading straight to Plazuela Machado, the city's oldest square. Teeming with historic spots, it's a delightful place to watch the world go by. Let's grab some breakfast at a local café then stroll around to admire the colonial-style buildings. In the afternoon, we'll visit the iconic Angela Peralta Theater which is simply breathtaking. Hungry? Homemade tortillas and fresh seafood await us at Casa 46 for dinner. We cap off the day with a walk at Malecón, one of the world's longest boardwalks where you can enjoy a stunning sunset.

Day 2 - Nature and History of Mazatlán

Rise and shine! It's day two and we're starting our journey with a hearty breakfast at Presidio. Next, let's visit the Stone Island, an idyllic tropical sanctuary perfect for sunbathing or horse riding. Have you ever seen a gigantic shrimp statue? It's time for lunch at El Shrimp Bucket. Later, we'll head to the Mazatlán Archaeological Museum to uncover the region's pre-colonial history. Dinner is at the vibrant Mr Lionso’s Playa Bruja, known for its zapatas. Time to hit the hay, because we still have one day left of our adventure!

Day 3 - Exploring the Wild Side of Mazatlán

El Faro Lighthouse is our first point of call today. Pack your breakfast and be ready for a challenging hike. This isn’t just any old lighthouse—it’s one of the highest natural lighthouse in the world! After this test of stamina, we’ll wind down at the serene Aquarium Mazatlán. Then, it’s time for lunch at La Costa Marinera. Post-lunch, take a leap back in time and visit the Historic District. Here you can shop for memorable souvenirs. We'll have a farewell dinner at Topolo, a cozy restaurant that serves spectacular Mexican fare. And just like that, our three days in Mazatlán are over. What a journey it's been!
