The city of Mazatlán, which means “place of the deer” in Nahuatl, the Aztec language, was claimed by the Spanish in the 1530s. Before the Spanish arrived in Mexico, Mazatlán was inhabited by indigenous people. With an ideal location between the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez, Mazatlán became a prime port. During the 1800s, a large influx of German immigrants flocked to the area and helped develop the port into a prosperous trading center. After Mexico established its independence in 1821, Mazatlán was named the capital of Sinaloa and continued to thrive as a port city. In the 1940s, after increased infrastructure and development, the city began to attract international tourists. To this day, it remains a popular resort destination in Mexico.Mazatlán Cruise Port Facilities and LocationThe Mazatlán cruise port is located in the city’s commercial port.
