CONTENTS
ACAPULCO Blessed by warm waters and sunshine 365 days a year, gorgeous beaches, a scenery of unrivaled beauty, and hospitable, friendly people, Acapulco offers a casual, relaxed atmosphere. It has one of the most stunning bay views offered by any coastal resort. In Traditional Acapulco, you can stroll along the Malecón and the Zócalo. Visit the cathedral, gazebo, bookstands, street vendors and sidewalk cafés surrounded by barnyard trees. This area is for those who are in search of nostalgia and an authentic encounter with the classic beach destination that was booming in the golden age of Mexican cinema and Hollywood. In contrast, Zona Dorada features a multitude of hotels, exotic nightclubs, glitzy restaurants, art galleries, jewelry stores, boutiques, shopping malls and traditional markets with all sorts of handicrafts. The newer Acapulco Diamante area situated from Puerto Marques Bay to Revolcadero Beach offers first-class resorts, residential developments, modern shopping malls, 4 spectacular 18-holes golf courses, and one of kind tourist complex offering relaxation, business, entertainment and wellbeing, all in a single destination with a luxurious hotel, an spa, an avant-garde performance and entertainment venue, and a modern Convention and Exposition Center. The climate is tropical and humid with sun the greater part of the year, the rainy goes from June to October. The average temperature is 33°C and the minimum is 22°C. Today this beach destination is experiencing a renaissance like no other because private investments include opening hotels, spas, restaurants, malls and new attractions, improving infrastructure and tourism services. There is also a new public transit system known as Acabus. It is efficient, safe, comfortable and fast and connects the resort’s many tourism attractions and facilities. The main central axis is a 16-km (10 miles) long route with 18 stops along the way and transport almost 130 thousand passengers daily.

The 12 exhibit room displays objects that relate not only to the history of San Diego Fort but also to the city and its cultural influences. Open daily from 9:30 to 6:00. Closed Mondays.

Natural Wonders Coyuca Lagoon Located only 10 kilometers from the Bay of Acapulco the lagoon is 17 kilometers long and a maximum width of 5 kilometers. This jewel hides tow little islands: Los Pájaros and La Montosa. The exuberant tropical vegetation and mangroves are home to over 250 bird species and 14 species of edible fish. It is an excellent place for water sports like water ski, weakeboard or fishing. You can take a trip through the mangroves with a native boat and catch a glimpse of tropical birds and turtle, a unique experience.
Tres Palos Lagoon It is located between Puerto Marqués and the international Airport, across from Barra Vieja beach. This huge freshwater lagoon (9 miles long and 3.6 miles wide) is surrounded by an impressive mangrove and is home to several species of fish as well as a diverse species of tropical birds, in fact this is one of the best places for bird watching in Acapulco. Several small boats are at hand to take a tour of the lagoon with a guide who will show you the unspoiled nature of the area. Try on this tour, a deeper cleansing experience with a facial mud exfoliator, the mud is taken from deep within the lagoon and it will not only exfoliate, it also helps in eliminating toxins and restoring moisture to your skin. In case you are more adventurous, you can rent your own jet ski and explore the canals around the lagoon. There is also horseback riding in the surrounding area. This huge lagoon was used as a set in the first Tarzan movie for its intact nature.
Turtle
Protection Program
From June through December, visitors can observe the nightly arrival of female turtles that leave the ocean to lay their eggs at Revolcadero Beach and in Pie de la Cuesta beaches. And from October through January you can watch the small turtles returning to the sea. There is a Turtle Camp in Playa Larga, where you can meet, learn much more about the sea turtle.

Gastronomy & Typical Cuisine in Acapulco The variety offered in Acapulco restaurants make this resort one of the most appealing beach destinations in the world. Most of the restaurants have an outdoor terrace and many have spectacular views of Acapulco Bay. The port’s typical food is an inspiring crossbred gastronomy which conjugates pre-Hispanic and European tastes. A result of this crossbred is the famous pozole, a weighty bowl (pozolero) overflowing with a white broth comprising lemon, oregano, onion, avocado, green chilli and crackling fried delicious sardines. This dish is served traditionally on Thursdays in many restaurants. Of course, you can also find excellent sea food, and some of the most popular are: “Vuelve a la Vida” (Come to life), consists of fish, shrimp, snails, octopus and clams, marinated in lime juice, and “A la Talla Fish” (grilled fish Acapulco style).

Nightlife in Acapulco Acapulco is definitely the place to go out and have a good time! Acapulco is home to world-class nightlife and clubs, and they open late and may stay open until sunrise. Many of the bars keep the same closing hours. Some of the most important are: Baby’O, Palladium, Believe, Love, Dinsmoor, Lukrezia, among others. One way to start the night is enjoying the spectacular dive show at La Quebrada, with the divers climbing a rocky crag about 115 feet above sea level; the majestic dive at night is with lit by torches. The dive schedules are 13:00, 19:30, 20:30, 21:30 and 22:30 the latter with torches. Beside, you can enjoy Acapulco’s dazzling and sophisticated restaurants and night clubs with a one of a kind view of Acapulco Bay, with its millions of lights reflecting in the water.
