#gomazatlan

6 days of nonstop partying marks the third largest #carnival of its kind, the #MazatlanCarnival. Like the similar festivals in Rio de Janeiro and New Orleans, this carnival includes #parades, fireworks, and coronations. And the best part is the free entertainment, like the Inaugural Parade (free along the #Malecon) and the Festival of Light fireworks, which ends the six-day party. Make sure to start planning your trip now as the festival books up in advance. The next festival is February 23-28, 2017. #Mazatlan #GoMazatlan #GOGOVacations #ParadiseFound #Mexico #tourism #travel #vacation #sightseeing #VisitMexico #travelgram #party #event #traditions #parade #culture (at Mazatlán, Mexico)

Almost 4 miles of #boardwalk along #Mazatlan’s coast is one of its most famous attractions, the #Malecon. The aquarium, cliff divers, and statues, plus 300 palm trees and beautiful beaches are just some of the wonderful things to see and enjoy along the route. Dine at authentic Mexican restaurants and see the city’s historic past, all along this winding, beachside path. #GoMazatlan #GOGOVacations #ParadiseFound #Mexico #tourism #travel #vacation #sightseeing #VisitMexico #travelgram #beach #bluesky #tour #shopping #dining #excursion #palmtrees #travelagent (at Malecon de Mazatlan)

The restaurant, El Meson D Los Laureanos in the small town of El Quelite, was a stunning step into a colorful culture so unlike my own. Chickens, ducks and roosters at my feet; a cat ran along an open wall; a fellow rode a horse into the courtyard right next to my table, and the horse danced for us. Men in native costume danced; another performed tricks with his lariat—all while we ate food of all sorts, from small quail to pork, beef, and fish wrapped in delicious tortillas. This was truly one of the most lovely and unique restaurant experiences I have ever had.
