Photos from Mazatlan, Mexico

This is from the top of the lighthouse. It’s about a 30 minute hike up and you are rewarded with a decent view. This is basically the only tourist thing I did while in Mazatlan this time around, and we had done it last time also.

I actually don’t think it is that great but it’s an outdoor activity close to town.

A shot of the beach taken from Isla de Piedra, or stone rock in English.

Mi Tío had some family there I think, or at least some old friends. We walked around, spent some time at his friend's house, ate some lunch and then took the short boat ride back to the mainland.

I can’t remember the name of this place, but it is a small island within kayaking distance of the mainland. It was a pretty cool little place and now that I think about it, one of my favorite excursions while in Mazatlan.

The first time I went to Mazatlan I stayed in the Historic Center. I’m pretty sure this is taken there.

This time around I stayed in the Golden Zone, which is more of a party vibe. I also happened to come during motorcycle week so it was very noisy.

Next time I come I’ll get a place in the Historic Center again.

Can’t really put up a post from a city on the coast of Mexico without including a sunset shot.

I imagine this is taken from somewhere along the famous malecon which is one of the longest waterfront promenades in the world.

An impressive 21 kilometers!
