Description:

Head out to explore Manzanillo's charming historic center, lovely beachfront walkways, and scenic, rocky viewpoints overlooking the Pacific. At the colorful local market, try your hand at bargaining for traditional goods and handmade wares with local artisans and craftspeople.

In downtown Manzanillo, stroll along a stretch of the seafront malecón (jetty). From this picturesque boardwalk you can see fishermen's boats skipping across the waves. Enjoy the shade of fringed palm trees, make your way up lively, pedestrian-only streets, pop into vibrant storefronts in traditional whitewashed buildings, and be entertained by people watching in the recently renovated historic town square.

From there, hit the mercado (market), Manzanillo's energetic produce and crafts market. Take some tips on bargaining for goods from your guide, then scope out the local folk art, jewelry, hammocks, leather goods, and pottery on offer.

Venture out to the white-sand beaches that break up the rocky coastline at the Peninsula de Santiago. This craggy outcrop is the perfect vantage point for taking in sweeping vistas of the Bahia de Manzanillo, the Bahia de Santiago, and the bustling harbor of Mexico's biggest port.
