Known for its rich nightlife, beautiful sandy beaches, unlimited opportunities for engagement in sports activities, excellent hotels and coasts, Acapulco is a place worth the admiration. Located in the state of Guerrero pacifist coast of Mexico, Acapulco is characterized as city, municipality and main sea port. It is situated on a high, semi-circular bay and has been a port since the early colonial period of Mexico’s history. Acapulco also is the largest city in the state, as well as the largest beach in Mexico. It has to be said that Acapulco is one of the most exciting cities in the world, in deed.

The beaches are magical with fine, soft sand, blue colored waves and exotic palm trees. The most famous among them are the beaches Barra Vieja, which is secluded and intimate, or always crowded Pied de la Cuesta, with its beautiful sunsets. In Acapulco you can enjoy virtually all water sports, but the water skiing was invented precisely for this paradise. Semicircle bay has always been attracted to the rich and because of it, at the coast since the middle of last century began to grow up large and luxurious villas and hotels. The huge central square in the historic center of Acapulco is one of the worlds largest and its real name is Plaza de la Constitución. La Quebrada is the biggest tourist attraction of Acapulco – 45 meters high cliff outside the city from which the locals jump into the sea between two rocks.
