Mazatlán, Mexico - 2018

Are the winter blue getting you down? Looking for an affordable, warm location to escape to? Mazatlán is a great place to consider! Located on the west coast of Mexico, it offers a respite from most worries of hurricanes that the east coast is burdened with, and boasts nonstop flights from the Twin Cities. Offering guests beautiful beaches and pools, as well as historic downtown attractions and a variety of tour options to explore, Mazatlán has a little bit of everything.
