Mazatlan meaning "land of the deer" in the ancient Nahuatl offers the best of Mexico. Plenty of sand, sun and fun with a warm and friendly atmosphere that will not empty your wallet. It's a city of contrasts, of the traditional past and the modern and trendy. It can be laid back or crazy. It is not particularly beautiful and there is poverty; there are no ancient ruins close at hand, but then, Mazatlan is not pretentious. It nicely balances the double identity as Mexico's largest commercial port as well as one of the country's most popular beach resorts. It's home of Latin America's biggest fleet of commercial shrimp vessels. Nearly 40 tons of shrimp is processed each year, making Mazatlan the shrimp capital of the world. |
