These beautiful high cliffs facing the sea have been the setting for more than four decades of exciting history; daring locals risk their lives by jumping from a height of over 110 feet. The show starts with the divers' free-climbing the natural clefts in the cliff walls to reach the highest point. From here they jump, never forgetting to cross themselves first and say a little prayer. This show ends with a majestic dive at night, lit by torches.

Silverf8s

Great Tour of Acapulco Including La Quebrada

(Rating: 5) by Silverf8s on August 15, 2009

3.Coral Princess :- FT LAUDERDALE . ACAPULCO 22ND MARCH - 4TH APRIL 2OO9: We have just returned from Acapulco ( myself and wife ).We used the services of \' RUDY\' TOUR BY VAN. I had arranged this tour of Acapulco independantly on line before leaving the UK.True to his word \'Rudy\' was waiting for us to disembark at the port. He took us on a wonderfull tour of Acapulco.He speaks excellent english and what he doesn\'t know about Acapulco probably isn\'t wodh knowing about.We stopped for lunch at a typical mexiacan restaurant (El Zoritto - great food which Rudy recommended ) .At no time did he pressure us into anything not even the choice of the restaurant as he says it\'s your tour you make the decisions he didn\'t take us to his \'friends shop or restaurant \'- you know what i mean.The transport provided is very clean and has air con and he also provides complimentary drinks. (I did have transfers provided in my hoiday package provided by princess cruises to my hotel from the port which i decided not to take up) Having corresponded with Rudy by email before leaving the UK he assured me that our luggage would be safe in the transport provided and supervised whilst on the tour WHICH IT WAS ll this meant that instead of checking in at our hotel we were able to go straight on a tour of Acapulco,or if you wanted he was prepared to take you to your hotel first. Our particular tour lasted approx 7 hrs with no extra or hidden costs -he took us to some places that we had not discussed in our itinary which was an interesting and pleasant supprise.There was another couple of cruise critic members from the US with us on this tour. Rudy is a very informative tour guide and is very proud of his city and country he just can\'t do enough for you and i would highly recommend his services if he isn\'t the top tour guide in Acapulco he\'s got to be in the first 1 - YOU JUST CAN\'T GO WRONG IN MY OPINION !!!!!!!!!!!
