Mazatlan, Pearl of the Mexican Pacific, is located just inside the Tropic of Cancer and therefore has warm golden beaches and a beautiful blue sky all year long. It's also the gateway to the Sea of Cortez and to the mountains of the legendary Western Sierra Madre. Its name comes from the old Nahuatl Indian tongue, which means "land of the deer". Mazatlan is distinguished for the vast diversity of activities which include sightseeing, culture, rural and ecological tourism, sports such as fishing, golf, sailing, scuba diving, and snorkeling, its internationally famous Carnivals, and much more.

Do you know the weather conditions there? October through May are generally the driest months; during the peak of the rainy season (June-September), it may rain for a few hours daily. But the sun often shines for the rest of the day, and the off-season rates may well compensate for the reduced tanning time.
