Mazatlán Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

A popular cruise port along Mexico’s Pacific coast, Mazatlán lies at the foot of the Sierra Madre Mountains. The destination appeals to families because it offers affordable lodging, golden sand beaches, and a revitalized historical section. With a population of nearly 600,000, Mazatlán is far from a sleepy village, but the tourist areas have ample charm.
