Mazatlán Ziplines and Mezcal Tasting at Los Osuna Distillery
Fly through tropical dry forest on an eight-line zipline circuit near Mazatlán, then wind down with a tasting at the Los Osuna distillery. This half-day mix of adrenaline and agave culture is a practical, high-energy way to experience Sinaloa’s inland coast.
The Experience
Before You Go
Morning slots are cooler
Book the earliest departure to avoid midday heat and the thickest insect activity on the trails.
Wear closed-toe shoes with grip
Expect dirt, roots, and short, steep climbs between platforms—trail runners or light hiking shoes work best.
Secure your camera
Bring a camera strap or chest mount; loose phones and sunglasses can be lost on fast zip descents.
Hydrate before and after
Carry at least 1–1.5 liters of water; the activity is short but high-energy and the humid climate accelerates dehydration.
