“Magnificant Views of Mazatlan from the Top” |
Our ship offered this hike as an excursion for $50 pp. I wondered why someone would pay that much if you could get there on your own.
We walked out of the cruise terminal and went left towards the large hill in the distance. Lots of taxis were trying to give us a ride, but we wanted to walk the whole way. It was an interesting walk, we saw lots of locals out and about and we went by a school with all the kids outside having lunch. It took us about 20 minutes to get to the bottom of the hill to the lighthouse from the cruise ship. The hill is next to a sewage facility, so the smells weren't all that pleasant.
We headed up the hill and there were lots of guys working along the way. It looked like they were making the pathway better, pouring concrete in some areas. We saw several iguanas and lizards along the way. It took about 20 minutes to get to the top and we were rewarded with some nice views.
There is a little store at the top that sells sodas and water, although not much of a selection. There really isn't a public restroom, but the guy running the store let us use his bathroom. I was glad we had brought hand sanitizer with us as it wasn't the cleanest, but when you have to go.
