A Venue with a Story to Tell
The Mazatlán International Center is not only defined by its operational capacity — it carries a cultural identity all its own. Its north facade features the world's largest mural created using the pastilleo mosaic technique, a work by Sinaloan artist Ernesto Ríos certified by the Guinness World Records. Spanning over 17,000 m², the mural depicts the rich biodiversity of the Sea of Cortez and has become one of the most recognizable landmarks in the port city.
With over 16 years of operations and a sustained track record of industry recognition, the Mazatlán International Center continues to position Mazatlán as a benchmark destination for some of the most important events in Mexico and Latin America.
