Marvelous Mazatlan, Mazatlan, Mexico

In 1982 we went to Mazatlan on our honeymoon. Yep…43 years ago. I’m not sure why we have never been back, because we had a great honeymoon. But, we hadn’t. Until now. Joining our lifelong friends for a wonderful return to Marvelous Mazatlan Mexico – beaches and so much more!

Go for the beaches of course, but there is so much more. We found a place much changed in 43 years… much more developed with large hotels and resorts. But also with a preserved old town, quaint and colorful revitalized historic neighborhoods and an abundance of incredible restaurants. Maybe not as authentic as the Mazatlan of 1982, but full of charm, culture and cuisine. Here is what we enjoyed on our visit to Marvelous Mazatlan Mexico.

Mazatlan’s small international airport has direct flights from many domestic airports and a few international airports as well. We arrived from Mexico City. Although the Benito Juarez International Airport in Mexico City is one of my least favorites, arriving in Mazatlan was easy. We quickly had our bags and found the taxi kiosk to get a ride into the city, about 30 minutes away. Taxi to the city is 550 pesos, about $32 USD. ......
