Acapulco, the coastal city in the state of Guerrero was once “the” destination in Mexico, if not the world. And for some it still remains a must see visit whether for the nostalgia, the beaches and the views of the Bay of Acapulco, or its incredible nightlife. My friends and I did an annual weekend adventure to Acapulco from Mexico City; the highway makes the journey just 4 hours, an easy weekend escape.
One of the must do when visiting Acapulco is the La Quebrada to see the famous cliff diving show. I attended the spectacle three times and on my most recent visit, I attended the show, once broadcasted on ABC’s Wide World of Sports, at night. In this image you can see one of the divers starting his dive. But if you want to dive into Acapulco, I recommend an easier approach with Acapulco’s different dive.
