Located way down Mexico's Pacific Coast, Acapulco is famous as an exotic destination that became something of a legendary resort hotspot for mid-century celebrities. Visitors of today are rewarded with more than just the iconic beaches they all come expecting — which are spectacular, don't get us wrong — this is a place where culture and nature make up equal parts of the Acapulco story. Don't miss the famous cliff divers, not to mention the dramatic cliffs, of La Quebrada. The Fort of San Diego, dating back to the 1600s, is now a museum of archaeology, Mexican independence, and even piracy. And, of course, you can't visit and not stroll the Malecón!
