WHERE TO GO AND WHAT TO DO?

Acapulco

Alter a 30 minute flight from the Distrito Federal to Acapulco, get ready to stay at one of the 42 hotels in the Zona Dorada (Golden Zone) of the port city. Once settled in, enjoy a breakfast of a tasty tamal de camarón (shrimp stuffed inside corn meal tamales) with layers of epazote (an herb similar to parsley but of distinct flavor) along with a rich café de olla (coffee prepared with cinnamon and sugar). Then take a walk along the beach in the more than 20 km (12 mi) of coastal areas in this bay, where you can do all types of aquatic sports. Lighten up a bit and go diving while on the small island called Roqueta, located in front of Caleta and Caletilla beaches. You can take advantage of being there and visit the Faro and the zoo, both located on this same island. Before going to eat, steer yourself towards Condesa beach, where you can bungee jump from heights of 50 meter (164 feet). Without thinking twice, attach yourself to the harness and leap into they abyss?without a doubt it will be a difficult experience to forget. Before sunset falls, find a calandria (a type of horse-drawn carriage) that will take you on the avenue Costera Miguel Alemán to the area of the Zócalo (large square usually in front of a cathedral). During the trip you will encounter the Parque Acuático o Centro Internacional de Convivencia Infantil "ClCI" (Aquatic Park or Internacional Center of Children Together "CICI"), situated on Icacos beach, a place that offers entertainment and light shows and, moreover, has tobagans, swimming pools, and a mini aquarium among other attractions. Make a stop in a restaurant and eat pescadilla (whiting fish) and a seafood cocktail. For finishing touches, make your way to La Quebrada to witness one of the most exciting spectacles in the state: a cliffdiver, in an act of bravery, hurls himself - with a torch in hand - from a cliff 40 meters (131 feet) high. Before returning to your hotel, try tuba (coconut liquor) and beware that, at nightfall, the restaurants, bars and disco techs located in the Zona Dorada make this site a true world of possibilities. All this will confirm that in this place, entertainment does not pause for a breath. It will be an excellent day!
