El Cid Vacations Club Highlights the 'Pulmonia'

MAZATLÁN, Mexico, Jan. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- El Cid Vacations Club wants all travelers to know about one of the most fun ways to get around in Mazatlán: the Pulmonia. The efficient, over-sized golf carts offer friendly conversation, good music and a quick way to see all the sights. When the now-preferred mode of transport for tourists came of age in the 1960s, local taxi drivers came up with the nick-name "pulmonia" as a clever way to describe the open-air rides.

The idea caught on and nowadays, the zippy little carts are the number-one way for travelers to get around. Unlike a formal taxicab, the fare is negotiated before the trip. Plus, there's plenty of festive music on board, and the drivers love chatting with passengers about their plans and impressions of Mazatlán.

What the Metro is to Paris and the cable cars are to San Francisco, the Pulmonia is to festive Mazatlán, with no tourist sight left untouched. Whether travelers want to see the local bars, beaches, hotels, museums or anything else, the Pulmonia is ready and waiting to take them.

El Cid Vacations Club notes that Pulmonia rates are less expensive than taxi fares and are usually a better way to see, hear and smell the wonders of the beach areas, where the aromas of local foods waft through the night air and live music emanates from the streets. A taxi or shuttle may be the way to travel to and from the airport on arrival and departure days, but for discerning tourist in Mazatlán, the open-air Pulmonia is the smart way to see, taste, hear and smell the jewel of Mexico: Mazatlán.

Tourists appreciate the fact that the Pulmonia drivers know the city's beaches and resort areas by memory. If there's a particular restaurant or bar that a traveler wants to know about, the Pulmonia driver will have the information necessary to make a decision about where to go and what to do. The key thing to remember about the Pulmonia experience, according to El Cid Vacations Club, is that it's like having a taxi and tour guide all in one. For more than 50 years, the drivers of the little carts have carved out a niche as being super-helpful to tourists and travelers from all over the world.

El Cid Vacations Club recommends that everyone who visits Mazatlán should try out the Pulmonia at least once. For a quick video tour of the many wonders of Mazatlán vacations, click here.
