Activities
Malecon - Malecon is the oceanfront boardwalk. Mazatlán has the longest Malecon in the world, Ari and I like renting bikes or rollerblades at Baikas and going from one end to the other!
El Faro (Lighthouse) - The lighthouse of Mazatlán is just a few miles from downtown Mazatlán and any taxi or pulmonia can get you there. A fun hike up the natural landscape that ends with a beautiful view and a zipline that goes over the Pacific Ocean at the top
Beaches - Mazatlán has tons of different beaches. Olas Altas is the one closest to downtown and is a very chill, local beach. For more a calmer beach, the zona dorada beach is really nice with tiny waves for any age
