Apercu general
Sinaloa is home to Mazatlan, one of Mexico's most authentic beach destinations. Unlike Cancun or Los Cabos, Mazatlan keeps its Mexican essence with a recently renovated Historic Center, the country's longest boardwalk (21 km), and unbeatable seafood gastronomy. Mazatlan's Carnival is the third largest in the world. The state also offers El Fuerte and the Copper Canyon as gateway to the Chepe tourist train.
🌤️ Meilleur moment pour visiter
November to May is ideal: dry weather, 24-28°C (75-82°F), no hurricanes. February is Carnival time. July-August is hot (35°C+/95°F+) but with low prices. Avoid September-October for hurricanes.
