Much more than the name of a beach resort, Acapulco is a world renown
synonym for relaxation and fun.
Located in the Pacific Coast of Mexico, its perfect year-round tropical
climate makes it the perfect place for all kinds of day and night time activities.
The rare mixture of golden beaches, Sierra Madre Mountains, tropical
jungles and lagoons, and the Mexican warmth, mysticism and tradition perfectly blend in together to form
a unique experience to last a lifetime. Needless to say, the vistas are unique.
Once a Hollywood hotbed retreat for movie stars and a favorite of the
jet-set crowd and international playboys, Acapulco is the birthplace
of Mexican tourism. From parasailing and swim-up bars to all-night
discos, it all began here. In fact, Acapulco’s
world-famous divers of La Quebrada, who soar from 136-foot
rocky cliffs into crashing surf, have become an enduring symbol of the
city.
Acapulco is also a vibrant city with many centuries of history and
culture to be explored. Acapulco is a living witness of pre-Columbian
times to Mexican Conquest, Independence, and Modern times.
Acapulco’s history even has its share of pirates, and love stories
to share.
Beaches, nightlife, sightseeing and eco-tourism are just a few of the
many things there are to do in Acapulco. Just about any water sport
under the sun ins available at the beaches and water skiing was
virtually invented here. The fresh water lagoons at “Coyuca” or
“Tres Palos”, with water as smooth as a mirror, are ideal for
water skiing.
Also available are tennis, golf, bowling, beach volleyball, soccer,
squash and fronton courts, scuba diving, sailing, deep sea fishing,
wind surfing and jet skiing. Spectator sports include bullfighting,
diving, boxing and wrestling. Important Golf Tournaments and Tennis
Cups are held in Acapulco every year, as well as Triathlon and other
athletic competitions.
Acapulco sizzles by night, and it’s nightlife is legendary.
There is no place in the world that can compete with Acapulco’s
sophisticated dazzling night clubs and the choice of
entertainment and restaurants. There is magic in the air! The view of
Acapulco Bay, with its millions of lights reflecting in the water like
stars, is simply breathtaking, and probably one of the most romantic
scenarios in the world.
