MAZATLÁN, SINALOA | Is it BETTER than PUERTO VALLARTA? | MEXICO BEST Beaches | Travel MEXICO 2021 ??

?? MAZATLÁN, SINALOA, MEXICO – Welcome to another Travel Mexico 2021 video! This is part 8 of my (planned) 24 episode series coming from (mainly) Northern Mexico! Today we’re in the state of Sinaloa – we’re not asking the questions, “is Sinaloa safe?”, or talking about the Sinaloa cartel. Instead, we’re focusing on Mazatlán, a beach destination which may be passed over in favour of some of Mexico’s best beaches in Puerto Vallarta or Cancun. But, is it better than Puerto Vallarta?

Is Mazatlán a suitable location for a gringo or perhaps an expat couple moving to Mexico? We’ll cover that more in the next video which will go into some of the detail and some of my observations.
This video is an overview of just some of the things to do in Mazatlán. There will more videos to come as I head north in Sinaloa!

You can check out Mazatlán’s Centro Historico, beaches including Olas Altas, eat some amazing Mexican food such as Tacos Gobernador (with shrimp!), and head up to the Faro Lighthouse for some amazing views. And much more!

If you’re thinking about moving to Mexico or becoming one of the increasing number of expats in Mexico, your choices aren’t limited to popular areas like Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende, Cancun or Puerto Vallarta. You might even be looking for off the beaten track Mexico. Sinaloa is a state that, granted, you’ll need to be able to speak Spanish in, but the city and state has so much to offer, just as much as those other places!

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico Travel Vlog (The Side You DIDN'T Expect)

In this Puerto Vallarta Mexico travel vlog I will be taking you with me as I discover the side of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico you likely didn’t know existed. This Puerto Vallarta Vlog will take you beyond the resorts of Puerto Vallarta to show you beautiful cobblestone streets and plazas, an incredible art scene, and of course, the white sand beaches. During my trip to Puerto Vallarta, I discovered the magical side to this charming city beyond the fancy hotels and all inclusive resorts, so let me show you all of the best things to do in Puerto Vallarta for your next vacation.

To start off the day, we visited the 5th of December neighborhood (5 De Diciembre), which is less frequented by tourists and is home to lots of long term expats, a beautiful church, and quaint plazas. After strolling through the Cinco De Diciembre neighborhood, we continued walking south to El Centro (The Center) of Puerto Vallarta. The El Centro neighborhood has lots of beautiful streets and tons of creative street art. The art scene in Puerto Vallarta really surprised me, and is a must see when visiting PV, Mexico!

After exploring El Centro and the Malecon (The Boardwalk), we hiked up to the best viewpoint in Puerto Vallarta, called Mirador Cerro De La Cruz. After a short ~20 minute hike you will be rewarded with stunning views of Puerto Vallarta’s red roof homes and beautiful beaches. Next, we walked through the famous Zona Romantica, also known as Puerto Vallarta’s Old Town. The Old Town is full of shops, restaurants, and the famous church, which looks just like the Corona Beer logo with the crown on top.

After exploring the Zona Romantica neighborhood of Puerto Vallarta, we visited one of the most unique flea markets I have ever been to, Mercado Isla Cuale (Isla Cuale Market). What makes this market special is that it sits on a little island in the middle of Puerto Vallarta. To get to the Isla Cuale Flea Market you have to walk across a suspension bridge, adding to the charm of this special market. To end the day we visited some of Puerto Vallarta’s famous beaches to swim in the blue water and watch an absolutely incredible sunset.

I hope you can now see the charm of Puerto Vallarta beyond the fancy hotels and resorts!

Waterfall Hike for Adventure Seekers in Puerto Vallarta ?? Mexico

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico has a lot to offer. If you are seeking a nature adventure without booking a standard tour, you can follow the tips in this video for an epic hike to Puente Palo Maria waterfall.

How to Get to Puente Palo Maria:
– Get a ride to Hotel Garza Blanca for the entrance of the hike.
If you want a private ride you can take a taxi or use Uber. As an alternative to uber, I recommend an app called inDriver. The cheapest option is to take a bus for only 10 pesos departing in Zona Romantica at this bus stop: https://goo.gl/maps/PZPuHzWKMz8GX9yGA
