The Governor of Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha Moya, welcomed the motorcyclists who arrived in the state to participate in Mazatlán International Motorcycle Week 2026.
In Villa Unión, the governor greeted some of the participants in the motorcycling event, which takes place from April 8th to 11th and is considered the most important in Latin America.
Rocha Moya also expressed his hope that they have a pleasant stay and enjoy the event, as well as the attractions and, above all, the state’s rich cuisine.
The motorcyclists visiting Mazatlán come from different parts of Mexico and abroad (United States, Colombia, Chile, among others) and have a positive impact on the hotel, restaurant, commercial, and tourism sectors. An economic impact of more than 800 million pesos is expected.
For her part, the Secretary of Tourism for Sinaloa, Mireya Sosa Osuna, explained that more than 15,000 motorcyclists will participate in this important event.
“International Motorcycle Week is the largest motorcycling event in Latin America and is very important for Mazatlán and Sinaloa, so we are very happy to welcome all the motorcyclists. The Pearl of the Pacific welcomes them with the best atmosphere, incredible landscapes, and miles of routes along the sea,” she commented.
