This sightseeing tour of Mazatlan brings you face to face with a fascinating city whose early settlers included Aztecs, mid-16th century Spanish conquistadors, and mid-19th century French and American colonists. After hotel pickup, your guide will take you to Watchers Hill to put the city into perspective with a great panoramic view and offer expert narration throughout your tour.
Explore the outer areas of Mazatlan, such as the golden zone, and watch the famous cliff divers from a prime location. The antics of these daredevils, who jump from 45-foot (14-meter) platforms into only five feet (1.5 meters) of water, will amaze you! See sculptural monuments like The Fisherman before a walking tour of Old Mazatlan – the city’s picturesque historical district.
Follow your guide on foot through the oldest part of the city and visit the 19th-century church, the Cathedral of Immaculate Conception. Then, take a stroll through the Plaza de Revolucion to the nearby Municipal Market, located just two blocks away. As you wander past produce stalls in this must-see marketplace, you’ll have the opportunity to browse for small gifts or barter for a bargain-priced souvenir.
Next, walk over to Machado Square, a plaza surrounded by charming sidewalk cafés and historical buildings, including the Angela Peralta Theater. Sadly, the ‘Nightingale of Mexico,’ for whom the theater was named, never performed here since she fell ill from yellow fever and passed away en route to Mazatlan to perform.
You’ll be well acquainted with the city by the time your guide drops you off at your hotel at approximately 12:30pm.
