Topolobampo
Located 12 miles (20km) from Los Mochis on the west coast of
mainland Mexico, Topolobampo is known for its beautiful views and
beaches, including the scenic Maviri. The rolling sand dunes are a
popular site for sand boarding and 4x4-ing, and visitors can enjoy
the calm waters of the Gulf of California, perfect for sport
fishing sailfish and marlin and dolphin-watching. (27km) out to sea
is El Farallon, a rocky island inhabited by seals and sea
lions.
A stunningly beautiful seaside town to rival any in the
Mediterranean, Topolobampo has lost some of its lustre in tough
economic times as the shrimping industry declines. Cruise ships in
the Gulf of California still make port here however, and the town
acts as a gateway to the popular Copper Canyon region. There are
some good restaurants, however most tourists choose to spend their
days in Los Mochis.
Information & Facts
Language
Spanish is the official language in Mexico. Some English
is spoken in tourist regions.
Money
Mexican currency is the New Peso (MXN) divided into 100
centavos. Credit cards are widely accepted, particularly Visa,
MasterCard and American Express. Travellers cheques are generally
accepted, but cannot be cashed on Sundays. ATMs are available in
most cities and towns and are the most convenient way to get money,
but for safety reasons they should only be used during business
hours. Although most businesses will accept foreign currency it is
best to use pesos. Foreign currency can be exchanged at one of many
casas de cambio(exchange houses), which have longer hours
and offer a quicker service than the banks.
