ACAPULCO, MEXICO

Acapulco de Juárez has always been characterized by its strong tourist impact, both national and international. Featured in hundreds of films, a favorite of well-known Hollywood stars from the fifties and sixties, attractive to hotel empresarios and investors; and today, the destination of many a Mexico City inhabitant seeking sun and sea on the weekends.

One of the main attractions has remained unchanged through time; traditional Acapulco continues to be an ideal place to stroll. You can visit the San Diego Fort, which served as protection against the attacks of dangerous buccaneers in times when pirates were a common threat; Roqueta Island, with its Aca-Zoo, a small zoo with some native species; El Zócalo, with its well-known, curiously designed Cathedral; La Quebrada, and its daring divers; or the Beaches of Caleta and Caletilla, popular with Acapulco locals. The activities in this district tend to be fun and cheap.
