Anyone interested in outdoor recreation has a full slate of choices when visiting Mazatlán during the summertime. The Jungle and Beach Tour is a perennial favorite; it begins at the city's lighthouse and ends four miles south in a dense mangrove field. Birdwatchers appreciate the countless species of winged creatures in and around the area, while coconut plantations and a pristine beach top off the tour.

Canopy tours at the base of the Sierra Madre Mountains let intrepid travelers use the ziplines from a dozen different platforms high in the trees. The scenic, unique Huana Coa canopy excursion also includes an in-depth visit to an agave distillery where tequila is made.

Whales and dolphins are also part of Mazatlán's rich natural landscape, according to El Cid Vacations Club. Each April is the beginning of dolphin season, during which visitors can swim with the lovely creatures in cool ocean waters. From wintertime until April, humpback whales call Mazatlán's waters home base during their annual breeding season. There are many tour boats that offer guided trips with the help of marine biologists to explain the intricacies of whale life.

El Cid Vacations Club also reminds everyone that horseback riding is a popular pastime in Mazatlán for locals and visitors alike. The long stretches of sand on Stone Island (Isla de Piedra) are the ideal locale for horse enthusiasts. Water taxis are available from downtown for all who wish to spend an hour or a day on Stone Island riding, snorkeling, swimming or just taking a leisurely walk among the majestic palm trees. According to El Cid Vacations Club, there are also numerous local restaurants that specialize in seafood.

Rock hounds and geology buffs love to take a side trip from Mazatlán to nearby Mexiquillo, where steep canyons and natural rock formations display the beauty of Mexico at its finest. El Cid Vacations Club highly recommends Mazatlán to anyone who wants to see the truly breathtaking side of Mexico.
