Looks Like Mazatlán is Having a Moment

On our first trip to Lake El Salto in December of 2009, our friends headed home after four days of fishing and Hanna and I proceeded on to Mazatlán for a few days of R&R. In hindsight, we should’ve extended our stay at the lake. There was nothing wrong with the city – the food was good, the weather was great, and we certainly needed the downtime – but it was unexceptional.

Since then, we’ve endeavored to fish for at least a week at a time whenever possible, but it may be time to revisit a beach vacation. They’ve made major upgrades to the infrastructure and amenities in the resort town, and our friends who’ve stopped over for a while have raved about the experience.

It’s not only popular among vacationers, but also retirees and digital nomads, too.

The trade press seems to be unanimous about it as well. Check out the following articles:

And don’t forget that it’ll be a prime location to view the eclipse in April of 2024!


We can help you arrange your next trip to Lake El Salto and/or Lake Picachos, and if you’d like to add on some non-fishing beach time, we can help with that, too. Just shoot us an email at your earliest convenience.
