Mazatlan - City & Shopping Tour

The ship docks at the mazatlan shipyard and from that point we boarded a small tram taking us out of the shipyard. I don't know if we were lucky because while others taking this tour were loading into buses the six of us and another couple hopped into a Chevy Surburban for our Mazatlan city tour. Our driver, Herberto, was very friendly, not only taking us to the usual tourist spots, but areas a bus would never get to. He was a retired phone company worker and would often stop to chat with people he'd recognize while driving. We felt like we were his friends in for a visit. We were taken through Old Mazatlan, much of which is now abandoned. This tour also stops at the downtown cathedral, which can be seen from the ship, and at El Cid, a community surrounding the golf course, and the cliff divers, where for a few bucks one of the guys will jump off for you. Our last stop was into the heart of the Golden Zone to see the Aztec flyers show and then do some shopping. We had time to stop at one small market near the show which seemed to have more handcrafted items. I think it was for this reason the bartering wasn't as good. We asked Herberto to drop us off at a downtown market then we took a pulmonia back to the ship ($5).
