This is one to go to first thing in the day. Not only do you avoid the heat (it’s a heart rate elevating walk), you also avoid the crowds when there are cruise ships in town. Plus it’s lovely hearing… Full review by nzcowlady

We planned for months to hike El Faro and, by golly, we did! From the cruise ship terminal, its 3.1 miles round trip back to the ship. Be prepared! Of course, this is Mexico. It's going to be hot. Th… Full review by Jim A
Hi, we are taking a cruise that stops at Mazatlan. Is it reasonable to think we can walk from the port to the lighthouse?

The walk from the cruise ship up to the lighthouse is VERY doable. The two are very close. I'm guessing that it's a 10-15 minute walk from the ship's dock to the base of the lighthouse. Your walk up the mountain has been improved with a nice stonework base. It's a bit of a challenge going uphill but certainly not gruelling. It took us about 15-20 minutes, and we took a few rests along the way.
When will the lighthouse be open. We tried going yesterday but is was not open.

Sorry. Didn't realize I was getting questions. As you can see, we are from Alberta. Only go there to visit once a year although when we were there in February 2108, you could climb to the top. Building has never been open since we started going there although major renovations seem to be going on, so hopefully by 2019. I hear zipline going in so looking forward to that.
Other then taking the taxi could you get there on a bus? What was the taxi fare from the beach hotels in golden zone??

We took a bus downtown from El CID Marina (Sabalo Centro - green bus). I think it was about 11 pesos each.. It takes you close enough to the START of the hike to El Faro. Ask the …
We took a bus downtown from El CID Marina (Sabalo Centro - green bus). I think it was about 11 pesos each.. It takes you close enough to the START of the hike to El Faro. Ask the bus driver to let you off at El Faro. It still was about another 10 minute walk to the start of the trail. Then a hike up the trail to the start of the steps...then lots of steps. But it was definitely worth the hike. Bring water, then enjoy the views at the top. When you get back down, look up and be proud of your accomplishment. We were! Then we went for cervezas!
I'm arriving by cruise ship over the Christmas holiday and would like to hike up to the El Faro Lighthouse. I read where it is temporarily closed until Dec. Does anyone know if it is now open?

I just got back and it is nowhere near done. You can hike up and there are a couple areas you can get a view and picture of the bay and city but I would say March at the earliest for access again to the full area. If you are in port just for the day do the ATV tour at Stone Island with Mazatlan Tours/King David Tours instead and save the lighthouse for another trip down when it is done and you have more time. Or do the 3 hour city tour with the same company and they pass by the lighthouse along with an overview of town and you can probably convince them to stop for a picture. To really enjoy it wait until they are finished construction.
I guess it is, they're doing some improvements, Mazatlan will be the host for a big touristic event next year, that's the reason you will see a lot of construction around the city, it will …
I guess it is, they're doing some improvements, Mazatlan will be the host for a big touristic event next year, that's the reason you will see a lot of construction around the city, it will definitively make it look better when they're done ;)
