Lighthouse of Mazatlan

El Faro de Mazatlán

It is now the highest natural lighthouse in the world. (Gibraltar was the highest, but now not in operation.) The building itself is quite low, but sits on a cliff, so the light is 155 m (515 feet) above sea level. You will have the best view in Mazatlan if you hike up. Don't attempt the hike up unless you're in shape.

Getting there
Look for the signs that say "Faro" around town
