Acapulco – just a vacation resort built up in modern times, or a city with a long tradition and exciting history, where even buccaneers and corsairs play a prominent role? Acapulco's cliff divers are world famous. But were the Acapulqueños (inhabitants of Acapulco) really the first ones to jump down rocks from breathtaking altitudes into the wild sea below? What is true and what is false? Let's see if the Acapulco mythbusters among you can detect the facts from the fiction:

Acapulco has a lot more to offer than relaxing beach vacations. The thrill of Acapulco's nights is incomparable. Dancing until sunrise in one of the gigantic world-renowned discos is a special experience for any Acapulco visitor. Vacationers who look for adrenaline kicks won't miss out on adventure activity in Acapulco. Jet skiing, sky coaster ride and wreck diving are just some of the amusements on offer here.

Acapulco is still a classic among Mexican vacation destinations, and it's a wonderful place for those who enjoy travel photography as a hobby. The marvelous natural bay twinkles colorfully at night and is most romantic with the light of sunset – the ideal time for photo opportunities. Acapulco is very scenic in other ways as well, from water and amusement parks to yacht rides and more.
