Mazatlán: Latin America's longest boardwalk

Historic Pacific port of Mexico, Mazatlán boasts one of Latin America's longest waterfronts together with a well-preserved colonial center.

A car or tour bus remains convenient for exploring the city.

The Malecón of Mazatlán, stretching for over twenty kilometers along the Pacific coast, remains among the longest waterfronts in all of Latin America.

Just nearby, the Ángela Peralta Theater, rebuilt in neoclassical style after decades of abandonment, still hosts lyrical performances and concerts today.

Continuing, you visit the Lighthouse of Mazatlán, among the world's naturally highest lighthouses, built on a rocky hill with a view over the entire bay.

As evening falls, the Zona Dorada, the city's main tourist district, enlivens fish restaurants and beach venues.

Mazatlán's Lighthouse, situated on a hill over one hundred fifty meters above sea level, is often described as one of the world's highest functioning natural lighthouses, reached via a scenic trail.

Mazatlán's historic center, with its restored colonial houses, hosts each year one of Mexico's oldest and most popular carnivals, celebrated continuously since 1898 with floats parading the entire malecón.
