| Acapulco, Mexico |
|
There is no doubt that the magic -- and lure -- of Acapulco
begins with its beautiful beaches of golden sand, warm water and exotic palm
trees, meaning that every conceivable type of water sport is offered. Factor
in the natural environment of the city and you know that Acapulco is all about
the outdoors. So when you're done playing on the beach, check out how the
other natives of Acapulco (the aquatic birds and animals) live in their
tropical forests, lagoons, bays or fruit tree houses.

| The Top 8 Attractions
in Acapulco |
|
| Pie de la Cuestra
Located 10 km northwest of Acapulco, Pie de
la Cuestra is known internationally for its spectacular sunsets. Located
on the open ocean, its waves are very strong and tumultuous. Sometimes you
can even spy whales and dolphin swimming by. |
 |
| La Quebrada 744-483-1400
A cliff more than 60 m high where waves
from the sea crash into the cove. Here you can view sunsets, but, more
importantly, the daredevil cliff divers diving 45 m to meet the waves. |
 |
| Museo Fuerte de San Diego
744-482-3828
The Fort of San Diego houses the historic
museum of Acapulco made up of 13 permanent exhibition rooms and a
temporary exhibition room. The best place to learn all about the city. |
|
| Punta Diamante
This neighborhood overlooks the
"C" shaped bay located in original Acapulco. |
|
| Caleta y Caletilla
These two beaches became the center for
entertainment and fun for movie stars during the 50s and 60s. Protected
naturally by Roqueta Island (pictured) which blocks out the Pacific
currents and gives the beaches calm waves and shallow waters, ideal for
families with young beachgoers. |
 |
| La Roqueta
The reason to visit Roqueta Island is to
see the glass-bottomed boat, allowing you to view the marine wildlife of
the bay and the submerged image of the Virgin of the Seas, Saint of
Fisherman, located on one side of the rocky island of Yerbabuena. |
 |
| Magico Mundo Marino (Magic
Marine World) 744-483-1215
This theme park has a substantial aquarium,
restaurants, pools, museums and other family entertainment. |
