HOLA !
Mazatlan, one
of the most important ports on
the Pacific coast, is located in the southern region of the
state of Sinaloa, southeast of state capital
Culiacan.
Known as the Pearl of the Pacific because of its beautiful
beaches and its abundant marine life, it has become an
important site for international fishing tournaments such as
the Bisbee?s Billfish Classic.
This destination combines traditional architecture in its
Historic Center, known as Old Mazatlan,
with modern hotels and restaurants in the Zona Dorada, a 6
mi strip with beautiful beaches such as Playa Norte, Playa
Gaviotas and Playa Venados. These areas are ideal for
surfing, diving and sailfish or marlin fishing.
