ACTIVITIES
Mazatlan offers beautiful scenery that you can enjoy
on a pleasant walk along the
beach or on a horseback ride. In the Zona Dorada and at other
beach areas you can rent horses
at affordable rates.
Las Tres Islas ? Located
3 km (2 mi) west of Mazatlan. An
Important symbol of Mazatlan, this
group of islands consists of Pajaros, Venados and Lobos. This place is ideal for hiking,
and at some
points the trails can be quite challenging.
In addition, you can enjoy a delightful and reasonably priced horseback ride along the
beach.
Cerro del Creston ? Located 2 km (1.2
mi) south of the port of
Mazatlan, near the sportfishing boats. At the
top of this
hill is the
world?s second tallest lighthouse. At 157 meters (518 feet) tall, this
hill is a perfect place for rock climbing. At the
peak you can take in a lovely view of the
southern portion of Mazatlan?s port.
