Travellers’ secrets

Shop with the Locals

Stroll the seaside promenade in Old Acapulco, and shop for everything from fresh produce to handmade pottery and folk art in the colourful Municipal Market.

Cliff divers

Watch the cliff divers leap into the sea from the 45-metre high La Quebrada precipice. The divers perform for the public in spectacular daily shows, and often dive at night with torches

Extreme sports

Those seeking an adrenalin rush are spoilt for choice with a wide range of options including bungee jumping, skydiving, high-speed turbo boating and jet skiing to name a few. For something a little more sedate, try parasailing and take in stunning panoramic views of the bay and surrounding mountains from high above.

Acapulco nightlife

If you want to frolic in the waves and work on a tan, the western shore obliges with a white, sandy beach and calm waters. The eastern coast, however, is better suited for photography and shore-bound activities.
