FamilyExpert Tips & Helpful Hints
  • Depending on what you read, the Mazatlan lighthouse is the second or third highest natural lighthouse in the world still in operation. It sits on a hill approximately 515 feet above sea level.
  • Located at the extreme south end of the Malecon, the seaside paved walkway that runs for miles in Mazatlan. Depending on who you ask, it takes 25, 35, or 45 minutes to climb up the rugged terrain. Everyone agrees that the spectacular views are well worth the climb. Bring your camera.
  • To get to the hill, ride one of the city's open-air taxis, called pulmonias, or take the city bus that runs in the south part of the city, then climb on up.
