Charlene and Chester bought memberships with El Cid Vacation Clubs and received a few perks, including the tour to Mazatlan Observatorio. The tour included several points of interest, but the highlight was the sunset at the end of our tour. It created several beautiful sceneries from different angles.
While we were waiting for the perfect moment for the setting sun, we observed a few interesting objects such as this peacock and the iguana land or Tierra Iguana.
The actual observatory was an old building used not for space observation but to watch out for invaders. The inside was exhibited with a few artifacts of interest, but not quite impressive.
The Observatory housed a bird sanctuary where several species of birds had been rescued from danger. They included flamingos, toucans, and parrots. They were quite friendly and flew to land on people.
The Observatory Tour also included a tour of MUNBA or Museo Nacional de Balleta or Whale Museum. The museum exhibited several species of whale skeletons and interesting facts about these marine mammals. The evolution theory was somewhat unrealistic, but who knows.
Our tour ended with a short ride to the street level by a funicular. We rode a van to return to El Cid Marina.
This tour was informative about their interest in and commitment to conserving nature. - Jeffrey
