Description

The majestic lighthouse of Mazatlan is located on top of the hill of Creston, in the extreme south of the peninsula of the city of Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico. The lighthouse has the distinction of being settled in what was formerly an island and has a length of 641 meters by 321 meters wide and 157 meters altitude and the fact of being on an imposing natural formation makes him even more spectacular.

El Faro de Mazatlan sits on an impressive natural formation that is comprised of a series of cliffs and bluffs Stoics and if you look to the hill at a safe distance we realize that its shape resembles that of a triangular pyramid. Its slopes are steep and can be found in several caves deep structure, which is very dangerous to enter because of the treacherous currents. Regarding these interesting caves include legends, we point out the possibility that inside are treasures untold in the sixteenth century, hidden pirates left there as famous as the bloody English Thomas Caldrens or Cavendich and Dutch blond Spilbergen and were the product of ruthless insane looting these buccaneers carried the "Naos of the Philippines".

A place that no tourist can not miss to visit, it is a must that you have to see an adventure climbing, and as you can see it is the beacon of Mazatlan, whether they are from those with little physical condition or heart problems haha since climbing this hill is quite a PROESA, but there are some negative elements because our authorities are occurred add a sewage treatment plant right in the foothills of the lighthouse is a tourist area and visited by many people, ( and remove it from there please, is malisima image and smells that bears passing through there, right between odors climb and go), that's the negative, well also some graffiti (me I liked), " urban art "on the stairs. The fact is that half of the way up is land and the other half to reach the top are pure OMG stairs is good exercise daily climb the lighthouse but I prefer the gym, now well once reaching the top breathe pure air, fresh, extremely strong winds and a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean, the city and beyond.
