Mazatlán Essentials

Mazatlán combines a 19th-century historic district with a 13-mile coastal promenade. The city’s landmarks include the world’s highest natural lighthouse on Cerro del Crestón and the colonial Plazuela Machado, the heart of the old town. Cultural highlights range from monuments honoring cinema icon Pedro Infante to modern marine conservation at the National Whale Museum. The coastline offers diverse experiences, from the high-surf waves of Playa Las Brujas to the traditional cliff divers at the Olas Altas mirador.
