Dedicated to family travel. This blog used to be about the "girls only" trips, but lately I've decided it'll do nicely for all our travel adventures whether lots of us are going or only one or two of us.

Cliff Divers Part II

I'm bound and determined to see cliff divers!!!

This tour is through Royal Caribbean and is $34 per person (a bargain!) and about 4 hours long. Any takers? SL


Mazatlan Highlights & Folkloric Show


Start with a visit to the Inmaculada Concepcion Cathedral. In the distance view the second-highest natural lighthouse in the world before stopping to see the local cliff divers. In the Golden Zone you can browse the shops and then enjoy a 30-minute folkloric show including the Papantla Flyers.

This excursion will take you to see Mazatlan's most historic sights. Leaving the port your tour begins with a visit to the 19th century Inmaculada Concepcion Cathedral with its graceful facade of intricately carved volcanic rock. From a distance view the second-highest natural lighthouse in the world, El Faro, surrounded by scenic offshore islands and a spectacular oceanfront.
Continuing along the coast, there will be a brief stop at a rocky promontory to view the local cliff divers. Your drive continues past one of Mexico's grandest resorts, El Cid, before making your way to Mazatlan's “Golden Zone” and the opportunity to shop for Mexican and Indian handicrafts.
The highlight of your tour will be a special 30-minute folkloric show. As you enjoy a complimentary beverage, a local troupe dressed in colorful costumes will introduce you to songs and dances of ancient and colonial Mexico. View the Papantla Flyers display an aerial act, which has been passed down through generations and is truly a sight that is not to be missed.
At the conclusion of your tour you may stay in the Golden Zone and return to the ship independently, or return directly to the ship.
