Paco's Reserva De Flora & Fauna

Reviewed By marynE1711HQ - Toronto, Canada

Paco the Younger arranged a wonderful, personal tour of his family owned land. His father, Paco the Elder, over the last forty years has replanted a farm with nothing but native species. The result is a nature preserve with lots of animals and birds (some rare) and two Paco's who love nature to tell you about what you are seeing. They are lovely people who are very well informed, in contact with scientists from around the world, who want to show you the richness of nature just a 5 minute drive from the urbanized part of Mazatlan. Call to find out when you can visit. Note that part of the property is being developed as an ecologically sound subdivision.

Playa Las Gaviotas

Beach located in the Golden Zone.

Reviewed By E7566JPlaurieh - High River, Canada

We walked the beach from the Malecon to the Marina (1 hour walk) every day during our recent trip. The beach wide and flat and the sea is safe with a shallow grade. Be careful to check the tide though as when the tide is in, it is more difficult to navigate some areas of the beach,

Angela Peralta Theater (Teatro Angela Peralta)

Restored movie theater in downtown Mazatlan.

Reviewed By ronhills - Saratoga, United States

Over the last 24 years of going to Mazatlan we have always trued to see performances at Angela Paralta. We have never been disappointed. They bring in great talents and interesting performances. They have everything from traditional Mexican shows to opera, ballet, classical music, etc. Most are in English during tourist season. The prices are very reasonable. Go on a Friday or Sat. night and also enjoy Plaza Machado (1/2 block away) and its outdoor vendors and restaurants.
