We spent 2 wonderful days with Maaike. We did both the Barrio bites and Mercado tours. They were completely different. Marine has a wealth of knowledge from culture and history to insight and tips about Mexican customs. The food was amazing. The people were warm and welcoming. We can't wait to try her other tours

What we know today as the Mazatlan Lighthouse, one of the highest natural lighthouses in the world, is settled in what once was an island. It was in the year of 1828 when the Island of Crestón began to be used for maritime signaling the port of Mazatlán and until 1930 when the necessary work was done to unite this body of land separated from the port by the breakwater as we know it today. With a length of 641 meters, 321 meters wide and an altitude of 157 meters, the Mazatlan Lighthouse offers the ideal place to enjoy a 360 degree view of the bay landscapes. The perfect place to take photos of the nearby islands and the city!

My mother and I had an awesome time on the Ten Islands Tour. The guide, Cesar, was super friendly and knowledgeable. The pickup from our hotel was easy. We were taken to a doc and boarded onto a clean and comfortable boat for our tour. We enjoyed the views of the Malecon from the sea and all the islands. We also enjoyed snorkeling along deer island, which we weren’t expecting. This was a highlight of our Mazatlan trip!

6. La Noria Winery Route

All Over Mazatlan

Mazatlan is much more than sun, sand, and sea. The lands of the municipality of Mazatlán and the south of Sinaloa have a rich history: the production of mezcal, the Revolution and other events. The first "Vinata"; as it is known to the haciendas where mezcal was produced, was founded before 1850. The industry expanded until it reached more than 30,000 hectares of agave plantations. The mezcal produced in these “Vinatas” awarded at different European fairs during the first decades of the last century and became the second most important producer in Mexico. The Osuna family settled in the village of La Noria, one of the most picturesque in the region. La Vinata “Los Osuna” is the only one that survives today.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Classic food of the region taste, Bottled water, Soda/Pop, Tasting of Maguey Distilled
