Acapulco
Cliff-diving destination
Acapulco is a coastal city in southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean.
Once glamorous and synonymous with jet-set tourism in the mid-twentieth century, it became better known for crime and cartel violence.
The name still evokes tropical resort imagery: They honeymooned in Acapulco.
The city is famous for its cliff divers at La Quebrada.
