A Day Trip To Mazatlan -The Mexican Magic Jan 2016


On 4th day, our Cruise Ship docked at the Mexican Golden Pacific Coast Port of MAZATLAN, a major Cruise Ship Port as well as one of the world's largest Tuna and Shrimp fleets Center.

The harbor in Mazatlan is the meeting point for the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean. This creates one of the greatest natural fish traps in the world.

This is a beautifully laid out town with roads and lanes criss crossing at 90 degrees. Now a Spanish speaking population originally came from Germany and settled here to make it as their home.

Volunteers with blue shirts are all over to guide you for visiting this beautiful place. They are usually older people and enjoying their retired pass time by helping the tourists. On further enquirers by Harvinder with one of the elderly lady volunteer, She disclosed that their Blue Group offer this free guide services in this port town of Mazatlan in winter while the group moves to California in summers.

There is this blue line painted in the middle of the road which takes you to major tourists attractions in the city. The walk is about 3/4th of a mile
