I donno... Rev. T. Lawrence Shannon highjacked a busload of tourists from the East Texas Baptist Women's College and drove into Puerto Vallarta in Night of the Iguana, which is set in the 1940s.
I found this description of Mazatlan in Carolyn See's "Dreaming" ( 1995):
Mazatlán in the early sixties was boiling hot and far away. Outside of two other families we were the only Americans in the city. It was so hot that when you sat down to write a postcard the sweat from the back of your handtrickeled down and obscured your message. Mazatlán — the Pearl of the Pacific — was a medium-sized town with a medium-sized harbor. You came down out of desert, turned off the Western Hightway, drove through dense, alligator-infested jungle until you emerged in the city: a pretty place, bound on the south by its harbor, on the west by its mile-long strip of seedy hotels, on the north by a peninsula that dead-eneded in clear water, and on the east by solid jungle.
