history
Acapulco’s many modern attractions, lively culture
and natural beauty are enough to attract many
travelers. But few know that Acapulco’s interesting
history is nearly as dramatic as the way in which it
was named. (see Acapulco: The Legend)
The legend of Ácatl and Quihuitl is just part of Acapulco’s
pre-Hispanic history. Archaeological excavations indicate
that the port was inhabited as far back as 3000 B.C. The
first European to arrive in the bay was Fernando Chico.
On December 13, 1521 he named the Bay of Acapulco
“Santa Lucía”, in commemoration of a holiday honored in
Spain on that day. Around 1532, Acapulco came under
the domain of Spanish colonizers who referred to it as
the “City of Kings” as it was considered to have the most
beautiful beaches -- an observation which holds true
today.
With the return of Spanish galleons from their trips to
the Orient, Acapulco’s port was declared the official trade
site between Asia and America. With the ensuing America’s Fair, Acapulco was filled with splendor -- marking the
beginning of Acapulco’s role in the hospitality industry.
Following the Spaniards departure in 1810, Acapulco
remained outside the mainstream of Mexican development until the nineteenth century, when improved roads
and air service linked the port with Mexico City. In 1955,
a new highway opened that made the trip from Mexico
City much more accessible. Soon after, Acapulco staked
its claim as THE international playground for Hollywood’s
elite, and the rich and famous from around the globe.
overview
Glamorous, spontaneous and splashy, Acapulco (ahkahPOOL-co) is a city that invites superlatives. It delivers an
action-packed, 24-hour exuberance that makes every
moment count, with an array of attractions and activities
to please almost any visitor.
Acapulco: The Legend
Acapulco was named after a Yope Indian Legend. As
the story goes, Ácatl (reed), the eldest son of one of the
tribe´s chiefs, was in love with Princess Quihuitl (rain),
daughter of a rival chief. But discouraged from marrying
her, Ácatl sank into such a deep depression that his own
tears melted his body. A large muddy swamp was formed,
and reeds began to grow.
Meanwhile, princess Quihuitl drifted across the bay in
the form of a cloud and, in sadness upon discovering the
death of her loved one, hurled herself down in the form of
a huge storm. The rains destroyed the reeds, and she died
beside her beloved Ácatl. In this act, they were forever
united in Acapulco, as they called this “place where the
reeds were destroyed.”
Acapulco, the queen of Mexican beach resorts, is everpopular with year-round, foreign and domestic visitors.
As the birthplace of the Mexican visitor industry, it is
world-renowned for several firsts. Acapulco introduced
global vacation institutions such as the disco, parasailing,
the swim-up pool bar, rooms with private swimming
pools, tequila poppers, hotels shaped like pyramids, and
cliff diving. It also showcases the carefree, carnival atmosphere for which Mexico is famous.
Today, the resort is poised for a rebound, thanks to a citywide renaissance and improved scheduled air service.
This effort has included improved roads, a new section
of the Costera (the resort’s main thoroughfare), cleaner
water and beaches, landscaping of public areas, several
major hotel renovations, and the relocation of street and
beach vendors. There is a new sanitation system and the
open-air landfills are a thing of the past.
Ultra-deluxe developments at Punta Diamante and Playa
Revolcadero have enhanced Acapulco’s resort inventory, and opened up new areas outside Acapulco Bay for
visitor enjoyment. The main square and much of downtown has been spruced up. Cleaning brigades are out in
force, and a new bilingual tourist police force has been
deployed to answer questions.
Acapulco is the largest, loudest and most boisterous
resort in Mexico. Its tempo is more urban than resort,
as the city approaches 1 million residents. Yet seclusion
from the port’s traffic and clamor can be found at several
hotel properties. In fact, Acapulco offers over 230 hotels
(totalling 18,000 rooms) and boasts some of the world’s
swankiest resorts, along with dozens of affordable beachfront choices.
Thanks to its dazzling discos, bars, clubs and Las
Vegas (without the gambling) style atmosphere,
Acapulco is the #1 choice with party lovers. Honeymooners fall in love with the resort’s tropical
beauty and festive Mexican atmosphere. The area
also appeals to families, thanks to several parks,
calm beaches, and the CiCi water sports park for
children.
Sports enthusiasts also have plenty to do. Water
sports of every variety lure visitors to the seashore,
while golfers are beginning to recognize Acapulco
as a world class destination. For early risers, there
are several new eco-based tours that take in the
area’s lagoons, jungles, islands, and estuaries.
acapulco profile
Dining is diverse, not only in cuisine, but also in setting.
Most restaurants are al-fresco, and many offer breathtaking views of Acapulco Bay. Shopping is excellent, either in
the resort’s several American-style malls, or at its bustling
downtown mercados. For every type of visitor, Acapulco
has it all!
arriving & departing
airport
Acapulco International Airport (“Juan N. Alvarez”); code
ACA. Located 28 km southeast of Acapulco Bay and the
hotel zone.
The two-story completely remodeled terminal has several rental car counters, a restaurant, bars, and an attractive shopping arcade. For departing international passengers, the duty-free shopping is quite good.
arriving by car
A $2.8 billion highway opened in 1993 connecting Acapulco and Mexico City, cutting drive time from 6 to 3-1/2
hours. Tolls are high - $415 pesos (about $50US) round
trip - however, the scenic 4- to 6-lane highway is a welcome improvement.
Acapulco is also one of Mexico’s most important cruise
ship ports, hosting over 150 embarkations each year
(143 during 2005).
getting around
From the airport, frequent van transfers are available at
reasonable rates. Limos and rental cars are also available. The journey takes 20-30 minutes, unless staying
at The Fairmont Acapulco Princess/The Fairmont Pierre
Marqués/Mayan Palace resorts (10 minute ride). The “Boulevard of Nations,” a new four lane highway, whisks visitors from the airport to town.
Airport transfer rates run $7.50 US per person, depending on your hotel’s location. Return trips cost $20-25 US
per private taxi (variable). Around town, taxis are plentiful. Cabs do not have meters, but charge established,
authorized rates (generally posted in your hotel lobby).
Hotel taxis are more expensive than those roaming the
streets. Note that in either case rates are reasonable. Frequent, inexpensive bus service is available along the
Costera (the resort’s main boulevard). The fare is 5.5 pesos
for the A/C bus. There are also brightly decorated, horsedrawn carriages (known as calandrias) that stroll along
the Costera ($15 US per half hour).
A trolleybus (tranvia) sightseeing tour travels along the
Costera, from the Hyatt Regency hotel through downtown, and over to Caleta and back. For 65 pesos, passengers can get on and off at the indicated stop as many
times as they want during the day of the tour.
sightseeing & excursions
There are several attractions to lure you from the pool,
sand and sea.
downtown & traditional acapulco
This is the traditional heart of the city, noted for its bustling seaside promenade, main square, San Diego Fort,
traditional beaches, hillside estates, and the famous La
Quebrada.
The downtown area has the glamour and excitement of a
tropical harbor. The area may not appeal to everyone due
to its bustling tempo and seaport unsightliness. However,
the Zócalo, or main square, is a pretty tree-shaded plaza
teeming with activity, located right across the road from
one of Mexico’s more unusual churches.
The Nuestra Señora de la Soledad Church has a stark
white exterior and two bulb-shaped blue and yellowtiled spires. It looks more Russian Orthodox than Mexican
and it’s a short walk to historic San Diego Fort. Perched
on a hill overlooking the harbor, the fort was originally
built in 1616, and rebuilt in its present configuration following a massive earthquake in 1776.
The Fort was the staging area for the loading and unloading of the Manila Fleet, and served to protect this lucrative trade link from Dutch and English pirates. The fort is
a classic five-point fortress surrounded by a moat. A fascinating museum (with Spanish/English signage) is housed
within the fort’s original hallways. Displays focus on the
cultural exchange between Asia and the Old World with
exquisite, rare relics on exhibit (open Tues-Sun, 10am6pm). There is a light and sound show at the fort and special group pricing on request.
The sprawling Municipal Market was destroyed by fire
in 1996. It was rebuilt, and reopened in late 1997. You’ll
also want to see Caleta and Caletilla historic residential
heart of the city. With many nostalgic, palatial homes, this
is where Acapulco got its start, and from here, grew to the
south. The beaches here tend to be crowded on weekends.
acapulco profile
COSTERA: This attractively landscaped, yet very urban
boulevard, is where Acapulco earned its reputation as
Mexico’s original party town. Countless restaurants - from
fast food to gourmet - and bars - from quiet to uproarious
- keep the action going 24-hours a day. Hotel hopping is
easy as most properties are within easy walking distance
from one another. There’s plenty of shopping here (souvenirs, art galleries, clothing boutiques, even WalMart!) as
well as family attractions.
PAPAGAYO PARK: a 52-acre playland, and one of the best
parks in Mexico for family fun. There are plenty of carnival rides, a Manila galleon replica, a wonderful aviary, and
meandering tree-lined paths.
sightseeing & excursions,

Between these two placid coves is the Mágico Mundo
Marino aquarium. It combines indoor and outdoor
marine exhibits with a pool, two water slides, a restaurant,
scuba lessons, snorkeling equipment rentals and family
fun. Admission is about $4 US for adults, $2 for children.
Tel. (744) 483-1215. Open daily 9am-6pm.
Stop in for a drink at the nostalgic Hotel Caleta or at the
hilltop Los Flamingos Hotel. Los Flamingos, built in the
1930’s, has an illustrious past. Hollywood’s biggest stars
(John Wayne, Gary Cooper, Frank Sinatra, Johnny Weissmuller) partied here. Caleta Beach is also where you hire a
skiff to whisk you across to Isla Roqueta. The five-minute
boat ride to the island costs about $3.50 U.S. per person.
On the island you’ll find gentle waters, good snorkeling,
and a popular restaurant (Palao).
Last, but not least, is sensational La Quebrada, site of the
famous cliff divers performance. Since 1934 this has been
one of Mexico’s feature attractions. The divers leap from
cliffs 136 feet above the crashing Pacific, landing in an
11ft. deep inlet. There are five performances daily, including four evening shows, performed with divers carrying
torches – an unforgettable spectacle. Best viewing is from
La Perla Nightclub at the cliffside El Mirador Acapulco (a
cover charge applies). Schedule: 1:00pm • 7:30pm •
8:30pm • 9:30pm • 10:30pm
Another fascinating down town attraction is the Diego
Rivera Mural (see photo above). Here artist Diego Rivera
spent 18 months creating a 60-footlong streetwide mural
of tiles, seashells, and stones. Rivera lived here during the
last two years of his life.
CiCi: a water-oriented theme park for children. There are
dolphin and seal shows, waterslides, an enormous pool
area (with a “wave machine”), and other family attractions. The park completed a $3 million renovation project that included adding a dolphin swim program (rate
is currently $600 pesos/hour). Open daily 10am - 6pm.

CASA DE LA CULTURA: Located next to the Oceanic 2000
Hotel, the center has a small archaeological museum and
gallery with changing art displays.
ACAPULCO CONVENTION CENTER: a state-of-the-art 35acre meetings and convention center that hosts Mexico’s
annual Tianguis Tradeshow. (Contact your local Mexico
Tourism Board for registration information.) During summer and autumn, tel. (744) 435-0130.
HACKETT BUNGY PARADISE: For thrill seekers there’s a
bungee-jump attraction next to the Fiesta Americana
hotel on the Costera Alemán. The attraction is open seven
days a week; prices vary. Tel. (744) 484-7529.
day trips & other activities
Puerto Marqués & Revolcadero Beach
To the southeast, between the airport and town, you’ll
find pretty Puerto Marqués, a lovely bay of white sand
beaches surrounded by jungle-clad mountains. Just
south are the seemingly endless open-ocean beaches of
Revolcadero (site of The Fairmont Acapulco Princess, The
Fairmont Pierre Marqués, Mayan Palace Resort, and new
Quinta Real Hotel).
the “costera” resort zone
Shotover Jet Speed Boat Tours: Take an exhilarating jet boat trip through the Puerto Marques Lagoon
that lies adjacent to the airport. Tel. (744) 484-1154
www.shotoverjet.com.mx
The resort’s main boulevard (10 km long) is home to most
of Acapulco’s hotels, shopping, nightlife and dining. This
palm-lined, four-lane highway is shadowed by dozens of
towering hotels, condos and apartment buildings. Behind
the Costera, Acapulco slopes upward into the rugged hills
that surround the bay.
Bay Cruises
Several operators offer daytime and evening excursions
around scenic Acapulco Bay and nearby Puerto Marqués.
Day cruises point out some of the interesting sites, such
as the mansion cruises include live salsa music and dancing. There are several options…

cruise around the bay afternoons at 3pm. It
claims to be the world’s largest sailing catamaran. Tel. 744-482-3763
Palao: leaves from the Ski Club Pier, downtown, at 11am and 1:30pm for a 4-hour tour to
Roqueta Island, with a buffet lunch and open
bar. Check with your hotel or a travel agency
for current departure times, which may vary
from summer to winter.

Bravo Town, an ecological adventure park operated by
the Bravo Company, is on the Papagayo River, about 45
minutes from the city of Acapulco. The park offers river
rafting, kayaking, rappelling and hiking trails. Visitors who
prefer to get their adrenaline boost while staying dry can
fly through the treetops while harnessed to ropes as they
slide from tree to tree. Bravo Town also features a café,
boutique and pool. Cost is $50 US per adult and $42 per
child ages 3 to 12 including transportation and $42 US
per adult and $22 per child without transportation. Tel.
(744) 484-1154.
Archaeological Sites & Caverns
The Palma Sola archaeological site is located in the hills
behind Acapulco. This interesting site is home to eighteen huge murals carved on rock formations depicting
the history, customs and myths of the Yopes. These indigenous people settled in the area from 800 BC to 750 AD.
Reaching the site requires some hiking and clambering
up rock stairs for about 1⁄2 of a kilometer. State and federal authorities joined forces in making the area accessible and have taken steps to keep these archeological
treasures protected.
The La Organera-Xochipala archeological site
is an appealing day
trip for history buffs
and those would like
to experience the rural
side of Mexico. Located
about two hours from
Acapulco near the state
capital of Chilpancingo,
this area was the center for the Mezcala culture. The Mezcala, one
of Mexico’s most important cultures, were
known for their fine
ceramics, clay figurines
and stone carvings.
Ta xco
Time permitting, some visitors venture away from Acapulco to explore the State of Guerrero. One such trip is
to Taxco, 272 km north of Acapulco. Known as the “silver city,” this colonial gem is one of the prettiest towns in
Mexico. The city tumbles across a hillside with winding
cobblestone streets, tile-roofed buildings, cozy squares
(plazuelas), and a strong Old World ambience that has
survived for hundreds of years. The entire city has been
declared a national historic monument. In pleasant contrast to the glitz of Acapulco, Taxco is draped in an air of
Spanish antiquity right out of the pages of “Don Quixote.”
The city was founded in 1529 by Rodrigo de Castañeda,
a captain of Hernán Cortés; but it was a silver mother
lode that fueled development in the 18th century. One of
Mexico’s grandest churches was built in 1759 by French
immigrant José de la Borda who literally stumbled upon
a huge silver claim. The church, known as Santa Prisca,
is stunning. Built between 1748-58 of soft pink stone, it is
a riot of ornate baroque styling flanked by twin bell towers. The interior displays some of Mexico’s most beautiful gold leaf ornamentation. Begin exploring by taking a
ride on the city’s unique teleférico, or aerial tramway. The
ride climbs over 570 feet to the posh MonteTaxco
resort perched on a hilltop just north of the city. The
views are magnificent. A short distance from here is the
historic Hotel de la Borda.
Thanks to the opening of a new superhighway connecting Acapulco and Mexico City, Taxco can now be accessed
quicker than ever. The drive now takes about 2-1/2 hours.
Fully escorted tours are available, as is frequent first-class
bus service. Note: Toll on this 4 to 6 lane superhighway
from Acapulco is approx. $265 pesos each way. If taking a
private vehicle, expect to pay $50 US roundtrip.
Taxco is a shopper’s paradise for silver jewelry. For serious silver shopping, head to Calle Nacional and the La
Mina silver shop (complete with an old mining shaft)
Guerrero Festivals
Taxco hosts a world famous and awe-inspiring religious festival during Holy Week,
the week between Palm Sunday and Easter. Visitors come to see thousands of pilgrims
and penitents participate in the reenactments of the crucifixion of Christ. Once observed,
the rituals are not easily forgotten.
In May the town hosts “Jornadas Alarconianas” in honor of its favorite son, playwright Juan Ruiz de Alarcón, featuring a variety of cultural events, such as plays, concerts,
exhibits, and festivities.
The “Festival del Jumil” (jumil is a type of beetle found in abundance in November)
has the town combing the hills for edible insects. It occurs on the first Monday following
annual November 1-2 Day of the Dead celebrations.
The last Saturday of November marks the beginning of the week-long “National Silver Fair.” All entries in a nationwide silver contest, from sleek hair ornaments to garish
stone-encrusted fountains made of silver, are displayed at Casa Borda. Popular concerts
are staged nightly at the main plaza throughout the week. From either vantage point
you’ll feast on sweeping views of the city and surrounding countryside. Taxco’s mountainous locale (elevation 5,850 ft.) provides cooler temperatures than Acapulco, which can be
exceedingly humid in summer months.
acapulco profile
has become a tourist attraction in its own right, and
makes for a fun excursion. Also worth a visit is the posh
Mayan Palace Acapulco, a masterfully planned ultramodern resort of canals, pools, and stunning Mayan decor.
All these hotels also have their own outstanding 18-hole
golf courses. The Tres Vidas Course is also in this area. (See
“Sports” for details.)
continues
or along Calle Juárez toward the city’s charming main
square (Plaza Borda). There are dozens of shops along
the way (Taxco has over 300 silver shops!). There is also an
excellent artisans market at the corner of Calle Miguel
Hidalgo and Calle Cuauhtémoc. Remember to look
for the “.925” stamp on all silver items. This guarantees a
product’s authenticity as sterling silver.
When in town, dining recommendations include Bar
Paco, Tia Calla, and Adobe (all serving Mexican and
international cuisine). La Ventana de Taxco serves up a
magnificent views and Italian cuisine.
Cacahuamilpa Caves
Located approximately four hours from Acapulco, Cacahuamilpa Caves is a well-known Mexican attraction. This
striking natural wonder was a favorite site for Emperors Maxmiliano and Carlota, and ex-president Porfirio
Diaz used this location for grand gatherings for ambassadors and artists. Today, it has a two kilometer pathway
that winds through twenty different caverns. Guided by a
state-of-the-art illumination system, visitors can marvel at
centuries old stalactites and stalagmites that have been
profoundly crafted and chiseled by the ultimate artist…
Mother Nature. The park is open from 9am to 4pm daily
and escorted tours leave every hour.
beaches
Resort activities center around three areas. Beginning
south of Acapulco Bay (near the airport) is the Playa
Revolcadero/Diamante area.
Revolcadero Beach is a wide swath of golden sand, lined
with tropical plantations and palm groves. This long flat
stretch of open ocean beach (backed by an enormous
tropical lagoon) is now home to the Mayan Palace, Quinta
Real, the Tres Vidas Golf Course, and several highrise
apartment/condo projects.
It is a beach comber’s delight with open-ocean surf and
long untouched stretches of sand. The spectacular Fairmont Acapulco Princess and the intimate Fairmont Pierre
Marqués resorts are on this beach (once their private
domain). The Princess, one of the world’s great hotels,
Just up the coast (between the airport and Acapulco Bay)
is the Puerto Marqués area. This tranquil bay, for years
of little interest to developers, is now the site of the enormous Acapulco Diamante resort and residential development. However, the main bay preserves its rustic seaside character. Puerto Marqués tends to get lost beside
the sheer grandeur of neighboring Acapulco Bay. This is
changing, as the bay and its southern peninsula are the
site of the new Punta Diamante development. Today, visitors come to lounge on the bay’s pretty beach. Dozens of
restaurants line the shore, and the super deluxe Camino
Real Diamante Hotel rests across the bay.
And finally, the spectacular Acapulco Bay (also known
as Bahía Santa Lucía) is a mountain-framed, natural harbor that rivals Rio de Janeiro and Hong Kong for beauty.
A highway descends from the steep cliffs of the bay’s
southern end, becoming the coastal Avenida Miguel
Alemán, also known as the Costera. This is the heart of
Acapulco’s resort strip and home to nearly all of Acapulco’s highrise hotels, non-stop nightlife, dining, and shopping. The Costera continues north along the bay toward
Old Acapulco and the aging but partially renovated
downtown area.
pie de la cuesta & coyuca lagoon
This area, 10 kms. west of the city, is loved for its rustic, palm-lined beach and dreamy sunsets. The nearby
lagoon is an exotic “Tarzan-meets-Jane” estuary noted
for its tropical vegetation, wildlife and tiny islands. If
you’re looking to take a break from the activity of downtown and the resort circuit, take a taxi or bus to this
open stretch of Pacific Ocean beach known as Pie de
la Cuesta. This long sandbar rests between the crashing Pacific Ocean on one side, and scenic Coyuca Lagoon
on the other. The main draw is the area’s flaming tropical sunsets. Grab a hammock, order a cool one and relax.
Coconut gin is the specialty.
Nearby Coyuca Lagoon offers boat tours, excellent water
skiing, and exotic wildlife. Freshwater fishing is quite good
here.“Rambo II” was partially filmed at the lagoon, along

acapulco profile
sports
For active, sports-minded vacationers, Acapulco has firstrate facilities.
golf
Acapulco now offers four18-hole courses – all near the
airport, and one 9-hole course located next to the Centro Acapulco convention facility. The Fairmont Acapulco
Princess/Pierre Marqués resorts are home to two of Mexico’s finest courses, and each underwent recent renovation work . The Pierre Marqués course was designed by
Percy Clifford, the Princess by Ted Robinson. Play is open
to guests and non-guests (higher green fees apply). The
courses are almost never crowded.
The Fairmont Acapulco Princess Course
Designed by Ted Robinson, this pleasant layout is
punctuated by narrow fairways, lined by coconut
palms and water hazards on 12 of the 18 holes.
Included in Golf Digest’s Top 25 Golf Resorts, the Princess Course’s featured hole is the 18th, a dog-leg par
4 around a large lake, leaving a second shot that
appears suspended in space over the unique pyramid structure of the hotel. The course plays to just
under 6400 yards from the Championship tees, the
challenge is real enough as half of the holes have
water hazards on one side, and out of bounds on the
other! ‘Sneaky tough’ is an apt description to the
challenge offered by this gem of a course.
Championship Tees: 6,355 yds.; Rating 69.4; Slope
117; Par 72. Regular Tees: 6,085 yds. ; Rating 67.6;
Slope 114; Par 72. Forward Tees: 5,400 yds. ; Rating
69.6; Slope 115; Par 72. $93 U.S., includes cart. Tel. (52
744) 469-1000.*
The Fairmont Pierre Marqués Golf Course
With an investment of over 3 million dollars, The Fairmont Pierre Marques Golf Course has finalized the
last phase of an extensive renovation program,
supervised by world-renowned golf designer Robert
Trent Jones Jr. Improvements to the course include:
the installation of Seashore Paspalum grass, the
expansion and contouring of lakes, and the installation of a world-class, double ended practice facility.
This new design reflects the Jones’ legacy and offers
players a renewed challenge steps away from the
Pacific Ocean. Originally designed by Percy Clifford,
the course was remodeled by Robert Trent Jones Sr.
for the 1982 World Cup Championship. With the
redesign of 65 sand bunkers, and additional 300
yards in length, Jones placed a premium on accuracy
from the tee, and precise shots into the well guarded
greens. As testament to the challenge created, the
winning individual score for the tournament was just
3 under par.
Championship Tees: 6,855 yds. ; Rating 71.5; Slope
127; Par 72. Regular Tees: 6,557 yds.; Rating 69.4;
Slope 124; Par 72. Forward Tees: 5,197 yds.; Rating
69.8; Slope 116; Par 73. $93 US, includes cart. * Tel. (52
744) 435-2600.
Mayan Palace Course
18-holes, par 72; green fees $88 US. Tel. (52 744) 4696000.*
Tres Vidas Country Club
Par-72, 7040 yard, 74.5 rating, 143 slope championship course designed by Robert von Hagge. This
oceanfront course has 9 water hazards and several
scenic seaside holes. One of Mexico’s best courses!
Green fees $147 US. Tel. (52 744) 444-5126. *
There is also a well-maintained, 9-hole municipal
course near the Acapulco Center (2,635 yards, $52US
green fee). This course is illuminated for night time
play. Tel. (52 744) 484-0781.
*All prices are subject to change.

acapulco profile
shopping
Acapulco is a shopper’s delight. Take your pick from modern malls or stroll the Costera for souvenirs. Explore the
bustling municipal market. Or explore one of the many
fine hotel shopping arcades. Acapulco has several malls,
including Plaza Bahía, La Gran Plaza, Galerías Diana,
and Plaza Condesa.
Prices generally include the 15% VAT sales tax. Bargaining
is acceptable whenever there is no price tag, in the markets, and almost always when buying jewelry. For craft
items, begin the bidding at half the asking price and settle somewhere in between.

La Quebrada Athelete
Anyone who has watched Acapulco’s cliff divers
plunge the 136 feet to the crashing sea may wonder how
difficult a task this may be. Jorge Monico Ramirez Vásquez,
member of a three-generation family of cliff divers, says,
“Timing is the key. Three seconds it takes to arrive at the
sea. Only five seconds of high waves tide - a two second
span for any error.”
Jorge works out from 8-10 am for his twice daily
plunge into the water, five times a week. Meditation and
prayer is also part of his routine. Each time fear precedes the
dive no matter how much practice or experience.
If the diver starts his career at 17 and ends it at 45, he
will take 15,560 plunges into the Quebrada during that
time. Many cliff divers have been involved in accidents,
most caused by the strong impact with the water. Remarkably, no deaths have been recorded.
