Mazatlan, Mexico

Mazatlan is the home of Mexico's largest shrimp fleet and numerous beachside restaurants specializing in this tasty creature, and the price of the day depends on your powers of persuasion. Explore the colonial villages of the Sierra Madres and hold your breath as you watch the Papantla Flyers work their acrobatic magic.

Topolobampo, Mexico

Topolobampo is the port for the city of Los Mochis. A large shrimping fleet is stationed here and the deep harbor is ideal for commercial fishing. Although these industries are significant, they pale by comparison to the region's most important attraction, the spectacular Copper Canyon. This scenic chasm is four times the size of the Grand Canyon, sculpted by the on-going process of erosion, 60 million years into its seemingly immortal lifespan. The Canyon's world-renown train ride covers the entire spectrum of terrain with 39 bridges and 87 tunnels, ending at an elevation of 8,000 feet above the sparkling Sea of Cortez.

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

Where the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortes meet at Land's End, Cabo San Lucas sits on the tip of the Baja Peninsula. Sun and sand are big here, but the fish are even bigger. Marlin, sailfish, tuna and billfish– all abound in these rich waters.
