Acapulco is one of the most famous Mexican resorts on the Pacific coast with a rich history and a lively atmosphere. The city, known since the middle of the XVI century, combines the flavor of the old port, modern resort infrastructure and warm sea sun. Its peculiarity is in contrasts: lively beach areas coexist with quiet lagoons and green reserves, and the evening promenade is full of music and the smell of seafood.
There are many man-made attractions in Acapulco that are worth seeing. Among them are the historic Fort of San Diego in the port part of the city, the majestic Acapulco Cathedral with unusual architecture and the ancient Old Town of Acapulco, where merchant streets and monuments are preserved. Note the Peace Chapel Palace and the Submarine Chapel Monument, an unusual statue of the Virgin Mary on the seabed. For lovers of archaeology, the Palma Sol Archaeological Monument is interesting, and the Acapulco University Botanical Garden offers walks among exotic plants. The unusual Gorge of La Quebrada with 35-meter cliffs and legendary daredevils-divers add to the city of drama and gambling history.
The nature around Acapulco is as impressive as human creations. Papagayo Park (Ignacio Manuel Altamirano Park) and Estero Del Yugo National Reserve protect unique ecosystems and offer tranquil hiking trails. Beach lovers will find something to see on the beaches of Ikakos, Caleta and Caletilla, Revolcadero, Condesa, Barra Vieja, Hornos and Tamarindos. In the vicinity are the Laguna de Tres Palos and the picturesque Laguna de Coyuca, while the Bay of Puerto Marques and the Island of Rukkola add seascapes and opportunities for walking on the water.
