Are you bored of Miami just yet? It's got that spicy, multi-ethnic, à la mode ambience like any other sophisticated beach city. Other than the hip beaches, beautiful (mostly plastic) people and uber expensive resorts, nothing's 'happening in' Miami. That just gets old after a while. Miami was last decade's hottest destination for a short vacation. Acapulco's making a comeback.
Acapulco is Mexico's best suave-in-style beach resorts; Located off the west coast, Acapulco has the most breathtaking panoramas and a vigorous nightlife that will make you lucid. Acapulco beats Miami when it comes to clubbing. Its nights are alive with pubs, bars and discotheques littered across its coast and there are no restrictions- you'll find an endless array of clubs for all age groups. You can dance all you want till the sunrise, Acapulco's hillside clubs are a must try.
Acapulco's beauty has been luring the human race to its terrain since Aztec times. It is said that though there is evidence that the Aztecs have once inhabited and ruled the city as a part of their empire, their descendants, the Mayans are the ones to have firmly set ...
... rule in Acapulco. Visit Acapulco and you may get a chance to see the ruins of the once prosperous civilizations.
Paleolithic and new age, Acapulco is the best of both worlds. Not- apart from the remnants of destroyed civilizations and fantastical night clubs, Acapulco is the right place for adrenaline addicts. Its vindictive cliffs can be excellent practice spots for trying out your luck. Acapulco houses one of the world's thrilling cliff diving spots.
Acapulco has a promising terrain. It's got brilliant beaches, rocky high mountains and lush green, rain forests. The climate here is fairly pleasant, warm all through the year making the water suited for skinny dipping. Not that it is allowed here, but the SCUBA and snorkeling is. Once you get under water, you'll be flooded with colorful sights of massive schools of fishes. For the foodies: they are edible, for the most part. Acapulco is a major sea port and fishing town, sea food is in abundance here. It's certainly a new experience to catch a fish, cook it yourself and eat it. But for better or worse, ask a local before you cast your net.
Acapulco has a charming sunset, if you're lucky you can watch the sun disappear beyond the horizon bathed in its red glory. A picture of this spot-on sunrise or sunset will win you a reward- it's billboard perfect. But, it's not only the sun that draws the crowd both in and out of Mexico. Hera are Acapulco's three main attractions:
La Quebrada Cliff Divers: Divers, not div-ing. This is a show put up by professional cliff divers for the public. This is a must watch for amateurs visiting Acapulco with common sense enough to not throw their lives down a cliff. The La Quebrada cliff divers perform by jumping off a cliff and into stunning blue waters, an enormous 45 meters above sea level. These guys do shows every day and even during the night. Their night shows are especially a must watch as they carry a torch with them while jumping down, making it look like a colossal firefly.
Tiaco de Panocha: This is a very tiny beach with just over a 400 meter coastline. It's located in the center of Acapulco's bayside, and is a popular tourist spot. You won't get to see a lot of wave action here and this is why it's the ideal place to bring your little kids or an aged parent. The waters are shallow and warm to take a relaxing break or simply lay on the sand and tan yourself while watching the fishermen work.
Palladium: 'Come feel the rush' is the four word mantra for this haute nightclub in Acapulco. It is located in Las Brisas, one of the most popular hill side hotels in Acapulco and offers the most exhilarating view ever. The dance floor is extended onto a cliff and when you just slightly tilt your head down, you may feel like you're free falling. To put it one word, this place is awesome.
Acapulco may have had a downslide since the 70's, but that doesn't change what it has to offer. From the large number of activities to its panoramic hillsides, Acapulco sets you free. Come, respire this freedom and while you're here, don't forget to secure you're house with reliable security systems like ADT Alarm Systems.
