Synopsis

Mazatlan and the surrounding area has much to offer the curious traveler. The city features historic Old Mazatlan, filled with period homes and graceful parks. A walk along the malecon will take you to Glorieta del Clavadista, the cliff where divers plunge into the waters far below. To watch them is breathtaking. Offshore, Deer Island can be visited as a day-trip by boat. Pack a picnic and come to play volleyball, relax in the sun, or snorkel in search of turtles and tropical fish. When you tire of city living, head to Aguacaliente, a small village made popular by its hot pools but now famous for the pinatas it produces. Or check in at Hacienda Las Moras, a 150-year-old distillery where you can ride horses, play tennis and even sample the tequila, which is still made here.

Whatever your tastes, this well-written guide has plenty to keep you busy. Within the pages of this book you'll find every practical travel detail you need, as well as town and regional maps, and sound travel advice from an author who knows the region intimately. Adventures range from cultural to physical. Learn Spanish in Mazatlan's top language school, explore nature at Teacapan, or wander around the Piedre Labradas, ancient stone carvings lying on the beach at Estacion Dimas, just north of the city. A walking tour of the city takes you to historic houses, delightful plazas, museums and gardens. Surrounding towns - Tepic, Guasave, San Bias - are also covered. Parks and reserves are given special attention, with tips for birders and nature lovers.
