Renowned for its glitz, glamour and luxury, Acapulco has long been a favorite retreat of the rich and famous. A paradise for sunbathers and water sport enthusiasts, this bayside resort town offers everything from sport fishing and bullfights to golf and tennis. Catch the La Quebrada divers, fearlessly launching themselves from cliff-side platforms into the crashing surf below. See where early Tarzan movies were filmed. Row through mangroves, or try your hand at fishing alongside the locals.

Shop open-air markets, including those of nearby Taxco, the silver capital of the world. And you won't want to miss the world-famous Acapulco nightlife, with discos, piano bars and live concerts that don't stop until the sun comes up. And with family-friendly attractions like the CiCi water park, Mundo Marino aquarium, and Parque Papagayo amusement park, the kids will love Acapulco as much as you will.
