Lying just below the Tropic of Cancer, Mazatlan boasts a superb year-round climate. Mazatlan, a name that means "Place of the Deer," sits on a peninsula at the feet of the rugged Sierra Madre, and the Cerro de Neveria - "Ice Box Hill" - divides the area's rocky Pacific beaches from the broad, white-sand beaches beloved by visitors. The climate, the beaches, and the world-class sportfishing have turned this commercial fishing port into one of the world's top resort destinations. Yet while visitors flock to the markets, bathe in the sun, or marvel at the airborne ballet of the famed Papantla dancers. Mazatlan remains one of Mexico's major Pacific ports - the city exports over 40 million pounds of shrimp every year.

Description
Explore exciting Mazatlan on a half-day guided tour that introduces you to some of the city's most treasured sights. Begin with a drive to Vigia ("lookout") Hill, and fill your camera with sweeping views of the coastline and the famed El Faro lighthouse in the distance. Descend for a visit to Old Mazatlan, the city's historic district, and visit the exceptional 19th century Cathedral Basillica of the Immaculate Conception. This Moorish-inspired landmark houses a magnificent organ built in Paris as well as spectacular stained-glass windows. Continue to Divers Point and watch expert cliff divers' plunge fearlessly from a cliff top platform into a scant six feet of water below. Then, relax with a stroll in the Zona Dorado, or Golden Zone, the modern resort area where you can browse for souvenirs, jewelry and handcrafts amid palm lined beaches and glamorous hotels. Conclude with a relaxing scenic drive back to port.
