We did this tour to Concordia and Copala 9 years ago and NOTHING about the tour has changed!... these tours all depend on visiting local shops and restaurants to get their business without much time to wander alone. As we had done this tour before we had hoped to spend some time by ourselves to explore the areas .... this... More

We booked this tour with Vista Tours through our resort. We began in Mazatlan with a "talk" at a Tequila factory, followed by a visit to a local country bakery where we bought some buns. Lucky that we did as lunch wasn't until after 2p,m and we set off at 9am.The on to a jewellery store with a very pushy... More

Victor was our guide on the 6 hour trip into the countryside, and back in time. If you want a feel for the rural part of Mexico, take this tour.

The only reason a tour goes here is to visit the shop that makes masks (so you will buy). The masks are beautiful and we did buy one. There is a church that is photogenic. Then they herd you to Daniel's for lunch which is supposedly world renown for its banana pie. The food was terrible, my shrimps tasted liked... More

The whole trip was awesome, with all the stops along the way. Copala is as picturesque as it could be.

I did a tour which consisted of three some towns/villages and this was the last stop. It was great to see the countryside and experience a VERY small village. There was some great crafts available to purchase in Copala.

This is an old village, much more important in the past in its mining heyday. But today it gives you a flavor of village life in Mexico and has many interesting buildings for your photography. There is, of course, the church, and a major activity here is wood carving. LIttle boys will swarm you to buy their carvings. My friends... More
