Acapulco Travel Guide

There are great beaches, the water is always warm, and the sun always shines. But when it doesn't, there's always nightlife until it rises again.

Perfectly situated between the Pacific Ocean and the Sierra Madre Mountains, Acapulco offers an abundance of ecological wonders. Whether touring the destination’s lagoons, jungles, islands or estuaries or traversing the shores of the Acapulco Bay, the destination’s 360 days of sunshine and distinctive ecosystems afford visitors an ideal backdrop for eco-adventure.

You would probably not expect this, but the city of Acapulco goes back about 2000 years ago. It was founded by the Nahua Indians who were the predecessors of the Aztecs. When Cortes arrived in Mexico, Acapulco was an important trading post.
