Cliff Divers

The sensational Quebrada, where fearless divers plunge 136 feet into the crashing Pacific below, landing in a 9 1/2 foot deep inlet, has since the 1940's been one of Mexico's famous attractions.

No visit to Acapulco would be complete without this unique experience.

Normally there are 5 daily performances of which 4 are evening shows, where divers carry torches. It is indeed an unforgettable spectacle.

The best spot for viewing is at the La Perla Nightclub at the cliff-side Hotel Plaza Las Glorias (formerly Hotel El Mirador).

Another good watching spot is a small "plaza" across the inlet, midway between the diving platform and the ocean below. It is accessible through several flights of steps, but the view from this spot is also breath-taking.
