Mazatlan's name comes from a Náhuatl Indian word "Mazatl" which means "Place of Deer." Mazatlan has about a half million residents and is one of Mexico's best billfish sport fishing areas. It has a very important commercial seaport. Although towns were first settled in this area about 400 years ago, a permanent colony was not established until the early 1820's with the first municipal government installed in 1827.

The Museo de Arqueologia downtown has a small but good collection of pre-Columbian artifacts and exhibits of contemporary art. At the very southern end of town, before the malecon begins, is the actual port area. Here you can see large, modern ferry boats that ply the waters each night to La Paz, 235 miles northwest, across the Sea of Cortez. The trip takes 18 hours and sleeping cabins are available. Arrangements can be made at the ferry pier or through a travel agent.
