A brisk sea breeze pushes off the Pacific as your panga eases away from the sand and the towing line tightens. The harness lifts you smoothly; below, the Malecon’s curve and the low, scrubbed isles — Isla de los Venados, Isla de los Pájaros, Isla de Lobos — shrink into patterns of rock and reef. The ocean seems to tug you forward, offering a high, bright view of Mazatlán’s coastline.
