La Quebrada
- Cliff Divers
La Quebrada is perhaps Acapulco's most iconic attraction: a place
that has come to symbolize the city itself. Every day at 1:00 p.m.,
young men dive from La Quebrada's perilous and jagged cliffs, timing
their jump to coincide with the incoming waves that cushion their
impact and protect them from landing in the shallows. Come evening,
more diving takes place. In fact, Acapulco's world-famous divers
of La Quebrada, who soar from 136-foot rocky cliffs into crashing
surf, have become an enduring symbol of the city.
Magico Mundo
Marino
Between the beaches Caleta and Caletilla is the new Mágico
Mundo Marino, an aquarium, which has indoor and outdoor marine exhibits,
as well as pools, two water slides, restaurant, scuba lessons, and
snorkeling equipment rentals. It is a great place for family fun
Papagayo
River
One of the newest activities in Acapulco is a high-speed boat ride
down the Papagayo River aboard the Shotover Jet. This New Zealand
import takes passengers aboard a jet boat. Set aside about four
hours for the trip, including the 45 minutes it takes to get to
the site.
Bullfight
Arena
Every Sunday afternoon during the season the traditional battle
between brawn and brain takes place with all the color and pageantry
of its Hispanic origins. It may not be some people's idea of sport,
but it is worth a visit at least once. Tour includes round trip
transportation and seats in the shade section.
CiCi water
park
A water park featuring water slides, water toboggans, dolphin encounters,
seal shows a wave pool and Sky Coaster, a ride that will leave youngsters
and grownups alike screaming.
You can also
go snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing, golfing or just hang on the
beach during your all inclusive Acapulco vacation.
