Acapulco Travel Forum

My friend and I visited Puerto Vallarta last year and had a blast.

Would like to visit somewhere else in Mexico.

Anyone think Acapulco is worth a visit?

We're looking for something less American touristy, with a nice Mexican vibe, not too pricey, but still safe and fun.

Thanks in advance.

Oh gosh! there is so much more else to see!!!

Pick your towel and grab your tooth brush and begin the travel! go either central or south of the Pacific, or try north. There are many mexican towns near the beach that have a very nice enviroment and there are a lot less crowded. You can always try Vallarta, but that one also has a touristy corridor, maybe you might feel interested in Nayarit, it has very pretty beaches with plenty sand to leave your unique footprint.. or maybe you end in the mayan caribbean near Majahual or Tulum town or the North of the Yucatan peninsula, who knows! maybe your next email is from Veracruz or La Paz!

Get yourself a map, throw a coin and let's see where it falls, if north, central or south! You might be surprised with some areas that are not really that awfully advertized, get your backpack, call your friend and explore widely!

Pst.. I really dont like Acapulco that much either for a visit, but sometimes you might need someone to tell you the good stuff, the right season or the right spots. Acapulco sounds a bit too crowded for me, but others might like it! It had its big boom back in the golden years. Not far from there you can find Ixtapa, Zihuatanejo or beaches like La Ropa or head to Huatulco, it plays a lot to what do you feel like doing, if beach, mountains, towns, desert, or jungle - low or high.

The smaller the town and less big tourist zones, the more affordable it becomes so it gives more extra$ to explore farther. A suggestion might be to look for smaller towns on the beach or near the beach, if you want some salty water. If not, try central plateau in Mexico as well, there are cities as San Luis Potosi where the city is not the good stuff, it's more in the Sierra as La Huasteca and the castle of Edward James in the middle of pretty Xilitla, as it is the big caves as Sotano de las Golondrinas, not far from it, it includes rivers and waterfalls as Tamul.

Good Luck!

hehehe, I just realized I misread Puerto Vallarta in the beginning..
Wherever you go, have fun.
