Jardin Botanico Culiacan

Reviewed By renecX1549RY

Well I think the botanical garden is a great place to go walk, with family, alone, its just amazing. It is not just a garden where you go see plants and thats it, you can actually interact with different activities or services that this garden provides you. You can take pictures and learn about the different plants that you can find there. This garden also provides a lot of different cultural activities such as concerts along the year, movie nights and other different events. Recently this place has been remodelated for a better experience for the people go. Schools also can have access to this center by going on a learning trip, this includes a person wich gives you the tour of all the center it very cool. In this garden you can also do excercise by running around the garden and there are also groups of crossfit training, in wich you can sign up.

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,

An minor interruption of the Boardwalk, but a heck of a climb up the street. Lots of history and old houses with great views.

Catedral Mazatlan Basilica de la Inmaculada Concepcion

Located in downtown Mazatlan, the architecture makes it well worth a visit.

Reviewed By TravelOffPath - Kelowna, Canada

The Mazatlán Cathedral (formally known as The Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception) is a gorgeous Baroque-Revival style Church in the middle of downtown’s ‘Centro’ area. Construction started on this church is 1856 but didn’t finish until 1899, due do financial troubles within the church. The outside is painted a lovely yellow, while the inside is uniquely ornate with chandeliers, wood, marble and gold. Sometimes the church is closed to the public for Catholic weddings, but most of the time you’ll find it open to wander inside. Tip: A very interesting fact about its history is that the Jewish Community actually stepped in and funded the completion of the church, and in turn had the Star of David put into some of the windows. See if you can find them! Cost: free. But it’s always appreciated to leave a contribution to the church. How to get there: Type ‘Mazatlán Cathedral' into Google Maps or Uber. Walkable from cruise port. Address: 21 de Marzo, Centro
