El Faro was built in 1879 and is the best known lighthouse in Mexico. Famous for it's spectacular views and is one of the highest lighthouses in the world. It's 500 feet above sea level and has incredible views of Mazatlan.
It took Greg 20 minutes to climb to the top. He said in the beginning the path was challenging with gravel and lots of ruts but then turned, about half way up, to stairs. He mentioned he didn't run into any banditos but lots of tourists, since this is Easter week here in Mazatlan.
Enjoy the pics he took from the top of El Faro. In case you don't know, Faro is lighthouse in spanish.
