Cultural and Sightseeing Adventure of Mexcaltitan Island Town from Mazatlan
Mexcaltitan is more than the birthplace of Aztec civilization. It’s also The Venice of Mexico, with most of the streets underwater. You can ditch your car and hop on our boat to traverse this legendary city on our Mazatlan Mexcaltitan Aztec Tour. Float around the island, learning about the lives of the Aztecs before they left around 1089 A.D. And in case the Mexcaltitan tour isn’t enough, you’ll also see the Aztec murals in the town of Santiago Ixcuintla. No wonder people love our Mazatlan Mexcaltitan Aztec Tour! With art, history, and a boat ride, it really has it all!
Along with riding around in a boat, you will get out and see the main square, church, and museum. Rub elbows with the locals while you experience the culture and history of this legendary city. You’ll be amazed by how beautiful and unique it is.
Then, it’s time to go to Santiago Ixcuintla village. The village’s tile murals are simply breathtaking. These Aztec murals are more than beautiful. They are educational, and when you look at them, you’ll take a trip through Mexican history and culture. You will have a much better understanding of Mexican culture through the years. Bring your camera, so you can snap some photos of these gorgeous murals. You can’t take the tile Aztec murals home, but you can take your photos home to remember the experience.
