    Something worth noting is isla de Los venados is a protected area therefore there are no restaurants or bathrooms. I advise taking your own cooler and possibly traveling on a boat with a bathroom

    Just a little fyi - Jalisco has mariachi. Sinaloa has banda. They're very different. Mazatlán's carnival is the third largest in the world, after Rio de Janeiro and New Orleans. The walk up to the top of El Faro is VERY steep and not for everyone. Please, if anyone does the climb, bring water with you. In the Summer months they frequently close it to visitors because of the health issues of the climb in the heat. The clavadistas (cliff divers) will always be diving when a cruise ship is in port. You can usually count on Wednesdays. If you want a boat tour you can get one from the embarcadero playa sur (where you catch the panga to stone island) or one of the tour companies along the marina near el faro. MUCH lower cost than $60 usd. A lot of good information in your video, and pretty comprehensive for a typical tourist. Thanks!

    Enjoyed your video. Nice to be spoken to rather than shouted at as in many travel videos. We are planning to be there for ten days or so (from London) to see the total eclipse of the Sun on 8 April (2024). We are arriving by bus (from Guadalajara) and staying in the main square in the old city. We are very excited and looking forward to it.
    By the way, the TL in MAZATLAN is an Aztec sound (from the Nahuatl language). It's pronounced as a single consonant not as two separate letters. The words tomato and chocolate originated from Nahuatl and were originally TOMATL and CHOCO ATL. You hear the same TL sound in many deity names in Mexico.

    Really nice video. Thanks for putting this together. Good tip about Baikas. I knew about the one in Olas Altas, but not the one in GZ.
    One niggly point though, the Malecón isn't 13 miles long, it's about 4 miles/ 7km. Your map even shows 6.9km. (Monumento a Pedro Infante to Valentinos)

    Mariachis are very rare in Mazatlán. They may come and play occasionally in a restaurant or concert. The bands that play on the beach are called bandas. Very different and unique to this state. Like calling a classical orchestra a hard rock band.

    Going for our 3rd time this month. Staying at Avenida (new condo/Airbnb 15th floor). Prior visit ate at El Presido and Topolo. Both highly recommended. Been to Deer Island but this time might try it kayak vs local drop off. Visited Stone Island on a tourist boat, and donkey ride! Nice walk on beach. Stayed at Grand Park Royal, but would stay at VRBO/Airbnb at Gervias next door. Plus you can go to Grand Park Royal and have meals if you don't want to cook. Will have bikes this time and go to Parque Central. The restaurant at the top of El Faro area is the best in town. Expensive but delicious. Will have to try Gas 46, Waters Edge and Hectors!

      OK, but I have lived here full time for years. I know that the Sabalo Centro bus was more than $11 pesos when Parque Centro opened. And, I believe that you should make the effort to pronounce everyday, tourist-related words correctly before you narrate. That’s to YOUR benefit. Come back and do a better video.
