We all know Sundays in Puerto Morelos are amazing — the sea breeze, the vibey streets, the smell of something delicious on the grill… it’s the kind of day that feels tailor-made for soaking up the little joys of life.

But just when we thought Sundays couldn’t possibly get any better — we found out Puerto Morelos has its very own baseball team!

Meet Las Mantarayas…

Introducing Las Mantarayas de Puerto Morelos, our hometown baseball team full of talent, heart, and local pride. While they play games in various locations across the region — including Cancún and surrounding towns — their home base is none other than our very own Estadio Nicolás “El Zurdo” Estrella right here in Puerto Morelos.

The games are usually held on Sundays, making them the perfect addition to your weekend plans. Whether you’re a lifelong baseball fan or just looking for a fun way to spend an afternoon, watching the Mantarayas play is a great way to feel even more connected to this amazing pueblito.

Local Love, Local Teams

If you’ve been following our Weekly Local Love series, you’ll remember we recently featured Los Tigres de Quintana Roo. We love showing support for teams that represent our region — and this week’s discovery is all thanks to a kind follower from our local Facebook group, Puerto Morelos Life, who tipped us off and let us know that Puerto Morelos has its very own five-star baseball team!
