Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

What you will visit:
Pacifico Brewery
Mexico and cerveza (beer) have a long tradition, and Pacifico, one of Mexico's best-loved and most flavorful beers, was first brewed in Mazatlán in 1900 when three German brewmasters established Cervecería del Pacifico in the city. A guided tour of the facilities includes the malting rooms and fermentation tanks. The history of the Pacifico brand is on display in a small museum that exhibits old brewing equipment. At the conclusion of the tour, enjoy a freshly made sample and a beautiful view of Mazatlán's harbor.
Pacifico Brewery Notes:
A very strict dress code is enforced at the Pacifico brewery. Tank tops and T-shirts are not allowed, and shoulders and midriffs must be covered. Only long pants or jeans are permitted, no shorts, skirts, dresses or capri-length pants. No sandals, flip-flops, backless shoes or sports/tennis shoes. Closed-toe leather (or similar) shoes are required. Jewelry of any kind is forbidden, including rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. (Best to leave items in the ship's safe.)
Cerveceria Navegante Craft Brewery
A recent addition to Mazatlán, the Cerveceria Navegante craft brewery serves up pale ale, stout, IPA and golden ale. With lovely views of the Pacific, you'll learn more about the process of production and sample some of the microbrews that are produced.
What you will see along the way:
Enjoy Mazatlán's dramatic coastal scenery on the short drive to the Pacifico Brewery. Along the sparkling coastline, views of outer islands and oceanfront properties can be seen, and in the distance, the world's highest natural lighthouse, El Faro, peacefully stands guard over this picture-perfect scene.

At the Pacifico Brewery, enjoy a tasting session, accompanied by a spectacular view of the city and the harbor of Mazatlán, and at El Navegante, sample local craft beers.
