A simple yet effective way to see the best of Mahahual is to take a stroll along this 1.2-mile long boardwalk. Connecting a multitude of restaurants, beach clubs, hotels, vendors and the town’s picturesque lighthouse in the north, El Malecón is no less than Mahahual’s main artery.

Those who live and work here say that you don’t really need to explain where the Jeker quarter is: Once you’re there, you’ll know. This is where the locals stroll the streets at their leisure, students read in the park, and you can spend a whole Sunday on a café terrace, a wisp of jazz music in the air in the background, and never get bored. The Jeker quarter is nestled between the old city walls and centuries-old houses, bordered by the green of the city park. Although people have lived here for centuries, no one has ever explored it all. Enterprise is deeply rooted in the genes of this community: A history full of crafts and trades has left its marks, and forged the unique, authentic, innovative and creative atmosphere you feel here today. And right through the middle of it, that impudent little river, the Jeker, flows brazenly on. The quaint streets, stately homes, and idyllic parks have everything to make history come alive, while the rich student life, mix of young and old, culinary highlights, and abundant art and culture pull you back to the present.

You will find this place close to the Historical Museum of Lodz on Plac Wolnosci. This charming museum offers archaeological finds from all around Poland as well as more modern exhibits on customs and local culture.

This park is a welcoming break from temple-watching and is filled with beautiful butterflies and tropical flowers. Thousands of native species fly around the park and the professional guides will introduce you to the project and the park.
