ACAPULCO, MEXICO

Take in the history and culture of Acapulco while enjoying a performance of the world-famous cliff divers. 

On this tour we will travel along the coastline while we listen to our guide. They will explain the history and culture of Acapulco, and point out sights of interest. At the El Mirador Hotel, above La Quebrada, we will enjoy a performance of the world-famous ‘clavadistas’ (cliff divers) while sipping a refreshment. We can admire the amazing and breathtaking manoeuvres executed by these brave souls, who plummet from dizzying heights into the blue abyss below.

Travelling onwards, we pass through the Principle Avenue of Acapulco, the Costera Miguel Aleman that surrounds the bay. Here we will discover the famous beaches: “Hornos, Hornitos & Tamarindos” all situated in Traditional Acapulco.

We continue on and take in the sights and sounds of the modern hotel zone, commercial centre, bars and restaurants that make up the heart of Acapulco’s Golden Zone. We then drive to some of the most beautiful panoramic viewpoints of “The Bay of Acapulco, the Bay of Puerto Marques & Tres Palos Lagoon”.

Next, we continue to the outskirts of town where we will view either the Acapulco Princess Hotel, constructed to resemble an Aztec pyramid, or the Mayan Palace Hotel, built to resemble a Mayan temple.
