Top Nature in Mazatlan

Bring cash! A lot of the small vendors only accept pesos. I ended up scrambling to find an ATM because my card didn't work at a few places. It was a bit stressful, lol.

Don't skip the sunset! It’s breathtaking. I suggest grabbing a drink at one of the beach bars just before sunset around 6 PM. The views are well worth it!

I recommend bringing some water and a snack, since the cave can take a while to explore and you might get hungry. Just remember that it's pretty warm in there, so stay hydrated!

My advice is to go right when they open at 9 AM. The crowds were way smaller then, and I could take my time without feeling rushed by other visitors. Plus, the lighting for photos is way better in the morning.

If you’re planning to surf, try to hit the waves early, around 7 AM. The morning winds are way calmer, and the water's super nice. It’s so refreshing, plus it’s less crowded. Trust me, you'll have a better time!

I recommend trying the surf rental places instead of the bigger shops; they’re way cheaper and super friendly! I ended up spending much less than I thought, which was a bonus

Bring your own snacks! I thought I could find a decent café inside, but all I found were pricey vending machines. Having my own food made the visit way more enjoyable and saved me some bucks
