Why Travelers Are Disconnecting Mazatlán and Guadalajara Like Never Before Once among Mexico’s most beloved coastal and cultural hubs, Mazatlán and Guadalajara are experiencing an unexpected shift: travelers are intentionally disengaging from these once-vibrant destinations in search of quieter, more authentic experiences. While both cities remain iconic, a growing trend is reshaping how and why people explore them—or choose to temporarily step back. The Surge of “Disconnection” Among Modern Travelers In recent years, “digital detox” and “slow travel” have gained traction globally, and Mazatlán and Guadalajara are at the forefront of this phenomenon. Travelers, especially digital nomads, remote workers, and conscious tourists, are now downloading apps to disconnect, skipping well-trodden tourist trails in favor of peaceful coastal hikes, authentic local markets, and meaningful cultural immersion over overcrowded snaps.
