The light house built in 1879 is located at the southern tip of the city and it is one of the most emblematic attractions of Mazatlan. We will drive by and offer you the option to climb up to the top which is 500 feet above sea level. The views are spectacular. You will be able to see the entire city and the Sierra Madre mountains in the background. There are lots of opportunities to take beautiful pictures along the way up. There is also a glass floor bridge that extends out from the side of the hill. It is recommended to take bottled water and a small towel to freshen up due to the warm weather. We will continue driving along the Bay Area towards the Olas Altas neighborhood making a couple stops at lookout points for picture taking. The driver will provide basic historical information and answer any questions if requested.

The Mazatlan Cathedral is a gorgeous Barroque and Gothic-style church located in the downtown área. The construction started in 1856 and finished until 1899. The inside of the church is uniquely ornate with chandeliers, marble, wood and gold. An interesting fact about its history is that the Jewish Community actually stepped in and funded the completion of the church and in turn had the Star of David put into 28 stained-glass windows. Across the Street from the Cathedral is the Plaza Republica townsquare which is surrounded by trees, palm trees and beautiful gardens.
