Puerto Transatlántico Internacional Teniente José Azueta

Puerto Transatlántico Internacional Teniente José Azueta is an international cruise port on Mexico's Pacific coast that spans over 500 meters and accommodates vessels with varying drafts. The facility includes a passenger terminal, yacht dock with basic services, a dry marina, and a fuel station for recreational boats.

The port was established in 1996 by the Integral Port Administration of Acapulco to enhance cruise ship arrivals and departures at the terminal. This founding marked a turning point in modernizing Acapulco's port infrastructure.

The port serves as a berthing point for the ARM Cuauhtémoc, the Mexican Navy training vessel where cadets from the Naval Military School practice their skills. This ship embodies Mexico's maritime tradition and becomes a regular feature in the harbor's appearance.

The port is relatively easy to reach and offers clear orientation for arriving and departing passengers and visitors. Most service facilities are located near the terminal building, making navigation and access to essential services straightforward.

The site features Mexico's only specialized automobile terminal and a six-story parking structure dedicated to taxis and private vehicles. This rare infrastructure shows how the port was specifically designed to handle land-based logistics operations.
