While it would be foolish to try to list every
attraction and activity available in Mexico for the enterprising vacationer,
it might help to have just a few ideas of what things are available. Read on
and start dreaming of your Mexico vacation!
La Quebrada, Acapulco Mexico.
Perhaps nothing in all of Mexico is more iconic than the cliff divers of La
Quebrada. For decades, locals have risked their lives daily diving from more
than 100 feet after crossing themselves and saying a brief prayer. At night,
the spectacle becomes even more striking, with the divers lit by torches on
the way down!

Magico Mundo Marino, Acapulco Mexico.
This aquarium in Acapulco includes activities for a full day of family fun.
You will find various water sports, water slides dipping into the sea,
exotic tropical trained birds, a souvenir shop, a projection room, a marine
museum, a casual dining restaurant with a panoramic view of Caleta and
Caletilla beaches and La Roqueta Island, a seal show and a diving show. If
you have time remaining, take a dive into the freshwater and saltwater
swimming pools. Family entertainment. Read more.
El Zocalo, Acapulco Mexico.
Enjoy this wonderfully tree-shaded central plaza, filled with the fragrance
of tropical plants. Do your crafts shopping, then enjoy fantastic free music
and dance performances on Sunday afternoon! Read more.
Laguna de Coyuca, Acapulco Mexico.
Stay ashore and feast on seafood prepared like nowhere else on earth or go
exploring this huge freshwater lagoon. The clear, amazingly clean water
provides a great backdrop for your sailing, water-skiing or fishing
expedition. Bird watchers will want to explore the bird sanctuary, home to
many hard-to-find species.
Pirate Ship Cruises, Cabo San Lucas Mexico.
This is a very popular excursion aboard a pirate ship. Sail out into the bay
aboard a 115-foot tall ship built in 1885, while the crew scampers about the
rigging in full pirate dress. Be prepared for the firing of the onboard
cannon; its noise is unforgettable. Enjoy lunch and cocktails as you tour
the bay and learn about the area's pirate history from the crew. Family
entertainment. Read more.
Land's End, Cabo San Lucas Mexico.
Land's End is one of those spots where Mother Nature gets herself ready for
a photo opportunity. Stunning rock formations carved over millennia by the
winds and tides rival anything found in the Painted Desert or anywhere else
on earth. Come at low tide and walk the Playa del Amante to see the Arch of
Poseidon. It's a sight you'll never forget! Read more.
Zoologico Guadalajara, Guadalajara, Mexico.
How often do you find a great zoo where the scenery is as exotic as the
animals? This mountainside zoo has more than 2,000 animals from nearly 400
species. The reptile section is one of the world's finest, and the aviary is
not to be missed. For the kids, there is a great petting zoo and, for the
whole family, a sightseeing train that will give you a quick tour of this
vast park. This is truly worth a full day's trip! Read more.
Gran Plaza o Macroplaza, Monterrey Mexico.
This is a plaza like none other, one of the largest in the world! You'll
find 40 acres of esplanades, fountains and gardens surrounded by the main
public and historic buildings of the city. The main hotel area is located
near the Macroplaza. Its second level underground has restaurants and brand
name shops. Some of the buildings which surround the playa are the
Government Palace, the Metropolitan Cathedral, the Capilla de los Dulces
Nombres (Chapel of the Sweet Names) and the Faro de Comercio. Read more.
Marigalante, Puerto Vallarta Mexico.
An all day outing! Get ready for a fun-filled adventure aboard this sea
cruise complete with crew bedecked in pirate garb. Your cruise begins at 9
a.m. with a workout session on deck, followed by a Mexican-style breakfast
buffet. A game of bingo keeps you occupied while cruising towards local dive
spots. By noon, you will dock near Marieta Island, where you receive snorkel
gear and explore the crystal-clear waters. After you have had your fill of
sunbathing and snorkeling, a barbecue feast is served for lunch. Spend the
rest of the afternoon however you wish, but don't miss the boat back. Read
more.
Expeditions & Whale Watching, Puerto Vallarta Mexico.
The whale-watching season in Puerto Vallarta brings thousands of people out
on the water to see the great marine mammals up close. Government
regulations to protect the whales are strictly enforced and this experienced
company complies fully. It has the only U.S. Coast Guard-certified whale
watching craft in Puerto Vallarta. If whales are too big for your tastes,
the company can also arrange dolphin encounters with these many friendly and
playful creatures.
Eco Tours, Puerto Vallarta Mexico.
A one of a kind opportunity for you to visit the natural world yet untouched
by humans. Some of the tours offered are seasonal, such as whale watching
and turtle camp, so check to see what is available during your stay. Trips
such as bird-watching, snorkeling and hiking are available year round. Your
guides are biologists and naturalists and are experts in their fields. Make
your vacation an educational adventure; these tours are excellent for
school-age children. Read more.
