Welcome, walkers, to one of the most fascinating cities in Mexico! I am Eduardo, your guru guide and explorer of Mazatlán. I am passionate about the history of this city, inhabited by my ancestors, and I have spent over a decade exploring it with a curious eye and a tireless desire to discover its secrets. I trained in creative writing and have published tourist guides and historical studies on Mazatlán. I love unearthing forgotten stories and losing myself in its alleys until I find new icons and emblematic flavors. With years of experience in gastronomic tours, I know exactly where to find the best dishes and the most surprising corners. Forget the Mazatlán of postcards and prepare to discover a city full of history, mystery, and wonder. Prepare to forget the Mazatlán everyone knows and experience the awe of the legends hidden beneath the surface. Let's tell stories and write new ones while walking!

Tour description

We will take a walking tour of the Historic District of Mazatlán. I will explain to you the layout of the current city, as a result of the historical conditions that defined it during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Of course, the tour will include iconic places in the Center of Mazatlán, among them:

The Pino Suárez Market
The Cathedral
The Machado Square
The Archaeological Museum
The Diver's Stone
The Olas Altas Boardwalk (end of the tour)

... But the heart of the tour happens in between, in its corners, stories, and locals that are the true heritage of our city.

The tour time ranges between 2 and 3 hours, with optional stops for tasting and shopping, and for leisure/rest.

If you wish to try the dishes offered by this tourist port, estimate an expense of 100-500 pesos (about 5-25 USD) per person, and the same amount if you take the opportunity to buy a souvenir.

Get ready to discover Mazatlán like you never imagined!
