MazatlanAuthentic culture. Unspoiled natural beauty. A world-renowned Carnaval. Here, every day is a cause for celebration.Directly across from the tip of the Baja peninsula sits an island immersed in Mexican culture and history. It is called Mazatlán and is considered the Pearl of the Pacific. Even before the Spanish conquered Mexico, indigenous people known as the Totorames inhabited the surrounding areas of Mazatlán. Remnants of their civilization, including their highly stylized pottery and sculptures, are still on display at the famous Museo Arqueologico. While in Mazatlán, make time to watch a game of ulama. This ancient form of handball has been played for thousands of years and still has a fierce following in this little corner of Mexico. The hill-screened harbor of Mazatlán served as a perfect hiding place from pirates looking to surprise the rich galleons that plied the coast. Today, these same hills invite travelers to explore hiking trails and limestone caves. Tourism is now booming here, as evidenced by the Golden Zone, a stretch of high-rise hotels and pristine beaches. The city's downtown is filled with restaurants, theaters, boutique stores and open-air markets. One of the most impressive is the Teatro Angela Peralta, a magnificent, neoclassical building that routinely hosts state cultural festivals. And if it's festivals you're after, the Carnaval here is considered by many to be the third-biggest celebration of its kind in the world. It may have you dancing in the streets until the wee hours of the morning, celebrating your trip to Mazatlán.
