Acapulco Mexico
A intriguing history
of pirates, golden beaches, tropical jungles and lagoons, glittery
nightlife and the famous daredevil cliff divers have all made Acapulco
the first and foremost resort town in Mexico. Once a favorite place of
Hollywood stars and jet setting playboys, Acapulco now basks in only
slightly faded glory. Around the curve of the Bahía de Acapulco
stretches an arc of beautiful beaches, luxury hotels, discos, shopping
plazas and international restaurants. There's another side to the city,
however, and the commercial center is none too glamorous, with filthy
streets, crowded sidewalks, congested traffic and loud, fuming buses
choking passersby.
Traditional Mexico is easier to find here than in the country's other
resorts and you will likely hear more Spanish spoken than English. But
Acapulco is definitely a hedonistic place to party, and doesn't claim to
be anything else. The nightlife is legendary and the energy never stops.
Most visitors come here to wine, dine and dance the night away to a
salsa beat; take part in the wealth of activity in and around the water;
and to stretch out on the sun-drenched sand and watch other beautiful
people doing the same.
Mexico Cruise Destinations
The state is bordered by the United States on the north, the
Pacific Ocean on
the west, the Gulf of
Mexico and the
Caribbean Sea on the east, and Guatemala and Belize on the south.
Mexico is more than 1,200 miles wide along its northern border with the
United States, but narrows to only 130 miles in the south, between the
Bay of Campeche
and the Gulf of
Tehuantepec.
In northwestern Mexico, the peninsula of
Baja California
extends southeast below California. In the southeastern part of the
country, the
Yucatán Peninsula extends northeast toward Cuba, separating the Gulf
of Mexico from the Caribbean Sea. |
