Known around the world, La Quebrada and it's cliff divers are Acapulco's most recognizable symbol. Nothing beats the view and the sound of the open ocean crashing into the jagged rocks below or the green mountains that open into the city.

Most tourists who visit the area corral themselves in the mirador close to the cliffs to watch the divers perform. Others watch from the nearby Hotel Mirrador restaurant. Those dining there will get a chance to meet the brave young cliff drivers before their jump (and hopefully pay them a tip) for their daring feat.



The cliff divers perform at hourly intervals nightly. The first show is at 1:00 pm. La Quebrada is at its best during the evening shows at: 7:30, 8:30, 9:30, and 10:30. You can take a taxi, or it's about 10 minute walk from the Zocalo.



Real Acapulco recommends that you don't limit yourself to just this one area of La Quebrada because there are beautiful walkways with glorious views all along the nearby avenue where you can see all the way to Pie de la Cuesta and little inlets that let you walk down near the ocean. Very well maintained and attractive sidewalks invite you to stroll all the way to Acapulco's seaside amphitheater Sinfonia del Sol or continue on to the little known gem, Playa Angosta.



The locals park along the streets and drink with their friends at night. Lovers kiss and hold hands. You'll never see a more beautiful sunset than from Acapulco's Quebrada as the sun sinks and turns into a green flash of light before disappearing into mysterious Pacific Ocean.
