Mirador el Cerro de la Cruz

The view was outstanding but you do need to be prepared for the climb. Although it is not a lot of steps, they are taller and vary in size. It will take you a few minutes to get to the top. You get a nice view of the bay and the backside of the city. If it's not 112 I say go for the walk.!

Thank you for reading the Honest Reviews4u! While visiting Puerto Vallarta you must make some time to visit this place! However before coming I must let you know the day before coming here make sure you hydrated very good and on the day of your visit have a good meal bring water because you are going to need it. As you walk like a zillion steps once at the top you will have a breath taking view of the city, ocean and green land scape. Very popular place especially to see the sunset and feel the fresh breeze of clean air. Highly recommend this place!!????????

So worthwhile the walk up the gazillions steps! Go early 8-9am while it is cool. Not that strenuous as can take your time climbing all those steps. Easy climb, just a lot of steps. Panoramic View at the top was so worth it. I did not even break a sweat.

If you can survive the steep roads and 1 billion stairs! You'll Love it! Awesome views, the tram no longer runs there, so your steppin' it up. No washrooms or water available at top...only the amazing views and self-satisfaction that you made it without oxygen! ????????
Come up Abasolo Rd. from Malecon up the 800' of elevation (Same as 80 story building's stairwell ????) lots of fun. Try it!

Amazing views of the entire bay of Puerto Vallarta. The steep streets, and narrow step stairs up to the top are well worth the workout.

Just at the base of the stairs before going up to the top, you might find a little street vendor selling bottles of water. We stopped and had a chat with the lady that runs it from her debt porch on the way back down.

She also offers a local frozen fruit popsicle like delicious refreshment! After that descent from the staircase that are amazing. Made from in season local fresh fruits! Definitely, a hidden gem for the adventure!

This is an excellent hike, especially in the AM before the sun comes over the mountains. It is steep especially at the end which is an ascent up stairs. The view is great and the cardio and leg work out is a bonus ????

I hiked to the Mirador from the Malecon. Quite arduous and I had to stop a few times to catch my breath. There was a funicular for the last part but it wasn't functional so I had to take the steps. The view at the top is quite beautiful.
