There’s something for everyone, even people who just want to lie in the sun and relax. (B, L, D)
Day 6–Mazatlan
An exciting mixture of old and new Mexico, Mazatlán is blessed with a harbor of natural beauty. The neighboring mountains rise as a majestic backdrop for this scenic city. As Mexico’s first major resort community, Mazatlán owes its continued popularity to vast unspoiled beaches, first-class resorts and friendly people. Take in the charming and historic sights on a tour of the city. Do some shopping at Mazatlán’s Golden Zone, home to Mexican and Indian handicrafts. It’s a great way to celebrate the colors, songs and dances of ancient and colonial Mexico. (B, L, D)

This once-sleepy fishing village became a popular resort after The Night of the Iguana was filmed here in 1964.

Red tile roofs and rows of balconies, spilling over with colorful bougainvillea, still line its cobblestone streets. A pleasure for both the eye and the camera. Take advantage of a rare opportunity to get up close and personal with our intelligent, finned friends at the Dolphin Adventure Center. You’ll be given an introduction to these friendly mammals.
