EPISODE 4

Documentary  |  18 min  |  2026  |  HD

In this episode of the Get To Going Series, Amber Estenson heads to Mazatlan: a coastal city where ocean breeze meets historic streets, and every moment feels a little more lived-in.

 

From ziplining off a lighthouse to serenading with mariachis at sunset, Amber explores a side of Mexico that’s rich in culture, color, and local connection. Whether she’s meeting cliff divers on the Malecon, singing on the stage of a historic opera house, or winding through tequila country, every stop proves Mazatlan is more than a beach town.

 

It’s a trip full of texture – golden light, bold flavors, quiet mornings, and stories that stay with you. Because in Mazatlan, culture isn’t something you watch. It’s something you share.
