Sinaloa is a Pacific coast state in northwestern Mexico, stretching from the Sierra Madre Occidental foothills to a long stretch of Pacific coastline. It is home to Culiacán, the state capital and largest inland city, and Mazatlán, a historic port city and long-established beach resort with a colonial old town and a wide, palm-lined malecón. Sinaloa is also one of Mexico's main agricultural producers and has a strong regional identity built around seafood, banda music, and its Pacific coast heritage.

Foodie tips
Get more out of every meal.
Book tours and cooking classes at least a few days in advance — small-group experiences sell out quickly.
Come hungry — most food tours include 5-8 tastings.
Bring cash for unscheduled stops the guide may recommend.
