El Faro, Cerro del Creston

300+ concrete stairs lead up the second-half of the hike up Cerro del Creston, the highest point within the city of Mazatlan, Mexico. Atop the summit is this lighthouse (El Faro), which is the second-highest natural marine lighthouse in the world, only behind Gibraltar. This means that the natural ground is the second-highest for a marine lighthouse, not to be confused with "tallest" as many lighthouses are taller. This lighthouse is only 2.5 stories high.
