La Quebrada, Mexico, Cliff diving spot in Acapulco, Mexico
Professional divers execute precise jumps from cliffs rising 130 feet above the Pacific Ocean into a narrow water inlet between rocky walls.
The La Quebrada Cliff Divers organization established formal diving performances in 1934, transforming local fishermen's activities into a professional spectacle.
Seven skilled divers perform multiple shows daily, demonstrating their expertise through calculated dives that require extensive training and precision timing.
Visitors can watch the diving shows from designated viewing platforms or from La Perla restaurant, which offers dining services during performances.
The evening performances feature divers carrying torches as they plunge into the ocean, timing their descents with incoming waves for safety.

Guerrero brings together Pacific coastline, colonial towns, and archaeological sites from pre-Hispanic civilizations. The landscape ranges from sandy beaches and offshore islands to cave systems and waterfalls in the mountainous interior of the Sierra Madre del Sur. Taxco displays baroque churches and silver mining heritage, while Acapulco combines modern resort areas with historical fortifications. The region preserves traces of different eras: Tehuacalco and Teopantecuanitlan document indigenous settlements, Santa Prisca Church showcases eighteenth-century colonial architecture, and Fort San Diego recalls the defensive structures of the colonial period. Natural spaces such as Cacahuamilpa Caves, the botanical garden in Acapulco, and remote beaches near Troncones or Barra de Potosí offer contrast to the cultural sites. The cliffs at La Quebrada and the bays around Zihuatanejo rank among the better-known coastal points, while smaller places like Ixcateopan present local history and rural life.
