Qué hacer en Acapulco

Acapulco de Juárez Unmissables

Acapulco de Juárez combines historic landmarks with dramatic coastal scenery. The city is home to the 17th-century Fuerte de San Diego, a star-shaped fortress, and the Diego Rivera Mosaic Mural featuring Quetzalcoatl. Natural highlights include the high-altitude cliff divers at La Quebrada and the sunset views from Sinfonía del Mar. Visitors can explore various waterfronts, from the calm waters of Caleta and Hornos beaches to the boat-filled Tlacopanocha Beach and the secluded Pie de la Cuesta. The open-air Chapel of Peace offers panoramic views over the bay.
