You can watch the whole city from here and have an amazing view of Banderas Bay. Prepare to have the workout of your life. There is a lift that doesn't work so there is like a thousand steps to get to the top but the view is totally worth it. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because the atrocity the government did blocking the entire view. Before this was a local thing to do and some adventurous tourist. But now there is even a snacks vendor at the top!

Hermoso lugar para poder ver la hermosa vista de todo Vallarta. Cuenten con una breve historia del faro y murales preciosos por observar.

We enjoyed discovering this hidden gem, and hiking up the hilly side streets for the best view of Banderas Bay and Puerto Vallarta. The sentry dog we met was friendly and wanted his picture taken. Sad to see the graffiti and trash on the way to this attraction though.
