Description
Installed in 2000, by artist Sergio Bustamante, this is one of the most popular statues on the Puerto Vallarta Malecon.
When strolling along the Malecón, you’ll be sure to notice this inviting piece of artwork due to the crowds of people who climb up its ladder for the perfect photo op. This monumental sculpture, featuring three curious figures climbing a ladder into the heavens, towers over the others at almost 60 feet high.
Bustamante, a famous Mexican artist, channeled his inspiration for the piece from Nobel Peace Prize winner, Bertrand Russell, who often wrote about the convictions of man. “Searching for Reason” represents man’s misguided approach to protecting life on earth through wars, atomic bombs, fear and prejudice.
