Our verdict

This tour fits a typical Mazatlán call (8:00 am–4:30 pm). It runs 6 h; ashore by 8:20 am, you can start by 8:30 am and be back at the gangway around 2:40 pm — 50 min to spare on top of a 1 h safety margin.

Rule of thumb: it keeps the safety margin as long as all aboard is 3:40 pm or later. On a short call (ship leaving by 2:00 pm) skip it or ask for the first departure.

The operator picks up at the cruise port (it is on their pickup list), so the trip to the start point is part of the tour. We allow 10 min to walk off and find the pickup; look for the ground-transportation area outside Mazatlán cruise terminal (Puerto de Mazatlán).

Among the 130 Mazatlán shore excursions we track, this is one of the longer ones (the median runs 4 h); 97% of them fit a typical call.

Computed from the tour's published duration, the distance from the cruise pier to its start point and the typical Mazatlán call. Adjust your ship's times above to recheck.

About this tour

Amaze yourself at a village founded in 1565 and its church build in the XVIII century. You can try our Mexican bread still baked on a brick oven heated with wood, and help our friend Jorge to build a floor tile the way it has being done for the last 70 years. Then transport yourself into the silver rush by walking around the majestic town "Copala" where you will have the opportunity to taste the best banana coconut cream pie in Mexico
