Magnificent scenery and a legendary lighthouse greet you at the top of El Creston Hill on this energetic half-day tour. A quick ride brings you to the foot of the hill for a photo opportunity before you embark on a 30-60 minute hike. The path is a winding nature trail with spectacular indigenous flora and fauna at every turn (approximately 320 steps). Your efforts are rewarded with panoramic vistas and the delightful sight of Mazatlan's classic landmark, the El Faro Lighthouse. Perched 515 feet above the sparking Pacific, El Faro is the highest natural working lighthouse in the world, and at night, its beam reaches over 30 nautical miles. Enjoy 25 minutes to relax, sip a complimentary beverage and photograph the panoramic vistas of the sparkling sea and your ship below. Back in the transportation; settle in for a 15-minute scenic ride that takes you past Mazatlan's Historic Downtown before returning to port.
