Malecón de Mazatlán
The Malecón de Mazatlán, or boardwalk, is one of the longest in the world, extending for over 12 miles along the coast. It’s the perfect place to walk, run, or just sit down to admire the vast Pacific Ocean. Along the way you can find iconic monuments, such as the monument to the fisherman or to the pulmonía, a small vehicle used for transportation locally. This seaside trail is the scene of spectacular sunsets that paint the sky with orange and pink tones, creating an unforgettable natural spectacle.

Cerro del Crestón and Mazatlán’s lighthouse
For a different perspective of the city, Cerro del Crestón, the location of Mazatlán’s lighthouse, is an obligatory stop. The lighthouse, located atop a stony hill, is one of the tallest in the world that are built on a natural formation. The hike although steep, rewards adventurers with a 360-degree view that includes the port, the city and the ample ocean. It's an ideal place for nature lovers and for those looking for the best panoramic view to admire the essence of Mazatlán.
