    A bar up in a lighthouse is a great idea. The drinks are par but the sights out awesome. The entrance is somewhat hidden due to all the other business on the Marina boardwalk. You can take the stairs or an small elevator, either way will take you to the veiw. You can see cruise ships if they are in port or tops of many of the hotels in the neighborhood. Go up and have a drink

    The view is fabulous. The prices are a bit more than other places in the area, but…..those places lack the view.

    The views from the bar at the top are incredible, but be patient in getting there at took us over 30 minutes waiting to get in as is was happy hour and the bar had reached maximum safety capacity and it was necessary for people to leave in order to make room for us. Like many touristy places here the prices are higher, so be prepared if you’re here to get serious at the bar. There is a menu for bar snacks which came in handy because we were both more hungry than wanting an alcoholic beverage. I recommend to come around 5:00 before they get crowded and you’ll be able to get a good seat for one of our famous sunsets on Banderas Bay.

The view from El Faro towards Playa Sur



A classic among Mazatlan tourist attractions, the Mazatlan City Guide recommends a visit to El the El Faro Lighthouse — the highest lighthouse in the Americas and one of the highest operating lighthouses in the world.

Located at the peak of Cerro del Creston — once an island and now the southermost hill within the city — it sits 523 feet above high tide, and a hike to the top offers truly bird’s eye Mazatlan sightseeing!



The first use of Isla de Creston as a site for a navigational beacon came in 1828 with the construction of a simple pavilion where fires, fueled by whale oil and wood or coconut chips, were lit at night. This unfocused light source — although better than nothing — was not a proper lighthouse, and was of limited value to seafarers trying to reach our port, particularly in bad weather when they needed a navigational beacon the most.

All of that changed with the construction of El Faro. This unique lighthouse first cast its glorious light westward over the Pacific ocean in In 1879.

The original El Faro light house lamp was fabricated in Paris, and was an oil lamp with mirrors and Fresnel lens to focus the light.



This much brighter light source meant that El Faro was visible from a greater distance, but since the light was static, it was often mistaken for a star.



In 1905 the El Faro lighthouse lamp converted to hydrogen gas and was made to revolve.



In 1933 it was converted again — this time to electricity, the light source you see today. Its 1000 watt bulb is focused by a fresnel lens and is equivalent to 600,000 candles!

Video about the new vista at El Faro lighthouse in Mazatlán!



The El Faro lighthouse beacon can be seen for 30 nautical miles, and still serves as an important navigational tool in the era of GPS. Constantly manned by fareros — lighthouse keepers — El Faro’s beacon is powered by our electric company, CFE, has back-up generators, and has proved extremely reliable, having weathered countless storms.

More than a drive-by Mazatlan sightseeing attraction, El Faro has become a must-do hike for many. At nearly 750 linear meters and featuring over 325 steps and a over 500 foot elevation change, this is a steep and somewhat demanding hike.



You can hike to the top of El Faro at a leisurely pace and reach the top in under 30 minutes, and there is no better view of The Pearl of The Pacific than from the top!



Volunteers have taken responsibility for the maintenance of the path which is now a well-maintained road with lighting for evening climbs — hiking boots are not required. At most hours refreshments are sold at the summit.



A Mazatlan City Guide favorite — and like many great Mazatlan sightseeing attractions — a visit to El Faro is free!
