Cruise Port Intelligence
Dock Port
Ships dock at the Mazatlán cruise terminal, which is a taxi ride from the Golden Zone hotel strip and Old Mazatlán.
Transport Needed
The port area itself is not walkable to main attractions. Pulmonia open-air taxis are the iconic local transport — they're cheap and fun. City buses (called camiones) are very affordable. The Golden Zone and Old Town are the two main areas to explore.
