All over Mazatlan, these unique open-air taxis called Pulmonias meander driving around with tourists and locals alike. They are fun to ride in and very accessible. Hardly a minute goes by before there is one to pick you up. Then the fun starts because you have a golf cart view of the sites, the people, and the beautiful beach as you take a nice ride along the boardwalk (malecon). You can, of course, you can still take a regular taxi or a bus which is quiet inexpensive.

Come with comfortable clothing such as shorts, thongs, tennis shoes, casual shirts, t-shirts etc. One pair of street shoes will be more than enough, assuming you use it all. Do bring with you your favorite sun block. But, do not worry if you forget it, as there are plenty of stores, pharmacies, and doctors at the pharmacies who charge very little to get basic check up of an issue.

Beautiful Boardwalk: Mazatlan's boardwalk, malecon, is the longest boardwalk in Latin America as it stretches approximately 8 kilometers.
