What to Do

Cliff dives: High above downtown Acapulco stands the Mirador Acapulco Hotel and La Quebrada, 136-foot cliffs from which professional divers take the plunge for your viewing pleasure.

People watching: Take a break at a cafe near the zocalo, a shady plaza that is the heart of downtown Old Acapulco. Stroll around on Sunday evening to hear live music from the bandstand.

Parasailing: Strap on a harness and fly up, up and away for a bird’s-eye view of the bay.

Shopping: Visit the sprawling, intense Mercado Municipal market for serapes, pinatas, leather goods, baskets, hammocks, velvet paintings, charms, amulets and talismans to help you keep your spouse, increase fertility or ward off the evil eye.
