Acapulco, Coastal resort city in Guerrero, Mexico
Acapulco stretches along the Pacific coast with beaches forming a semicircle around the natural bay, bordered by mountains and tropical vegetation.
The port of Acapulco functioned as a primary trading route between Spanish colonies in Asia and Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries.
The tradition of La Quebrada cliff diving started in 1934, with divers performing multiple shows daily from the 35-meter-high cliffs.
The Acapulco International Airport connects to major Mexican cities with direct flights, while local taxis and buses provide transportation within the city.
The Fort of San Diego, constructed in 1616 in a pentagonal shape, now functions as a museum displaying the maritime history of the region.
