Activities and Attractions in Mexico
La Quebrada Acapulco Acapulco’s world-famous divers
of La Quebrada, who soar from 136-foot rocky cliffs into crashing
surf, have become an enduring symbol of the city. These fearless
fellows dive into a narrow inlet where huge waves enter and crash
over the rocks. The timing of their dives is crucial and must be
perfectly executed due to the dangerous water conditions below.
The Costera main street in Acapulco The real heartbeat of Acapulco is also the main street,
Costera Miguel Aleman Avenue, known locally as just "The
Costera". If you are going almost anywhere in Acapulco (beaches,
shopping, dining or drinking) you will come in contact with the
Costera. Most of Acapulco’s major
attractions are either on or very close to this busy street. The
action along the Costera is varied, and constant, making many
sections of this strip a perfect spot to have lunch or dinner
and do some serious people watching. San Diego port walk in Acapulco

sauce are available at restaurants like the Kookaburra. Acapulco has more restaurants
than any other Mexican resort, just because of its size. With
many specialized cuisines available you will find an amazing assortment
