This simple yet effective line, painted on the streets, offers an easy way for tourists to explore the heart of Mazatlán without the need for a map or guide. The Blue Line begins at the cruise ship terminal and winds its way to the historic center, allowing travelers to discover the city’s hidden gems at their own pace. As you walk the blue line you'll encounter the Mazatlán Tourist Aide Volunteers - we're the friendly faces who can answer your questions, point you towards a particular interesting attraction, and give you suggestions for things to see and do while you're in Mazatlán! You can spot us because we will be wearing our blue shirts with the 'Mazatlán Tourist Aide Volunteer' logo (just a word of caution - if there's no logo, it's not one of our volunteers).

As you follow the Blue Line, you’ll encounter Mazatlán’s rich history and vibrant culture. The path takes you to the Plazuela Machado, a beautiful square with many excellent restaurants.  Also at the Plazuela Machado is the Angela Peralta Theater, a symbol of Mazatlán’s artistic heritage, where performances and cultural events bring the city’s creative spirit to life.  From the Plazuela it's just a short distance past beautiful colonial buildings to the majestic Catedral Basílica de la Inmaculada Concepción, with its stunning architecture and tranquil atmosphere.  Each step along the Blue Line reveals a new story, a piece of the past that contributes to Mazatlán’s unique identity.

The Blue Line is not just about history; it also connects visitors with the local way of life. As you walk our Centro Historico, you’ll pass by bustling markets where vendors sell fresh produce, handmade crafts, and traditional Sinaloan dishes. The Mercado Pino Suárez offers a sensory experience like no other, with vibrant colors, tantalizing aromas, and the lively energy of daily commerce. Following the Blue Line allows tourists to immerse themselves in the rhythms of Mazatlán, from the sounds of street musicians to the tastes of local cuisine.
