A private countryside day trip to the stately towns of La Noria and El Quelite, two of the real villages behind Mazatlán's tourist strip.
A private day trip into the countryside behind Mazatlán, visiting the villages of Puerta de Canoas, El Rancho de los Osuna, La Noria, and El Quelite — the latter two officially designated Pueblos Señoriales (Stately Towns) for their colonial-era character.
This private tour leaves Mazatlán's resort strip behind for the countryside towns of Puerta de Canoas, El Rancho de los Osuna, La Noria, and El Quelite, where the latter two carry the official designation of Pueblos Señoriales (Stately Towns) for their preserved colonial-era character. It's a real, unhurried look at rural Sinaloa life, with time to interact with locals and sample regional food along the way.
A popular starting point — every Voyzo itinerary is fully customizable, so we'll shape the order and stops around your group.
Hotel pickup included from Mazatlán.
Two officially designated Pueblos Señoriales (Stately Towns), genuinely distinct from Mazatlán's resort strip.

Time to interact with people from the area and sample regional food, not a rushed checklist.
Back to your hotel, home, or the airport — whenever your day wraps up.

El Quelite takes its name from the Nahuatl quelitl, an edible herb. It has fewer than 2,000 residents and is known for tile-roofed, brightly painted houses in an eighteenth-century style. Local reporting credits much of its rural-tourism revival to Dr. Marcos Gabriel Osuna Tirado.
La Noria became the second community in the Mazatlán municipality to earn the Pueblo Señorial designation, after about five years of local effort to promote it while preserving its identity. It is also known for an agave distillery and its history.
The pace here is deliberately slower than the beachfront. Visits usually center on walking, eating and meeting people in each village.
