Santa Prisca de Taxco

This 18th-century church, built with funds provided by silver tycoon José de la Borda, is the centerpiece of the town's main square.

Reviewed By 82jhj - Los Angeles, United States

I'm always amaze on the level of intricacy the churches in Latino America. We couldnt walk a round the inside of the church, we just made it to the entrance. Go and visit beautiful architecture. The only thing that might be annoying is the supposed tourist guides that are pushy but some of the free info they're willing to share as u walk towards the entrance of the church. The one thing i wish would be access to the bell tower as a guided tour that would really cool

Museo Historico de Acapulco Fuerte de San Diego

This 18th-century Spanish fortress turned museum is occasionally the site for festive gatherings.

Reviewed By sylvief845 - Longueuil, Canada

Acapulco owns a very rich history and we were very happy to discover it by visiting that fortress and its museum. About 10 rooms are dedicated to different ages and aspects of what was the most important port in New Spain. We went 3 times as we wanted to read and learn the most possible!

Playa Larga

With almost two miles of sand, this beach is ideal for long walks, jogging or soaking up rays.

Reviewed By rejuvenate - Manitoba, Canada

like vast, it stretches for miles and miles and can you say uncrowded, oh my goodness, not a soul in sight and even if there were, there's more than enough room for all so picturesque, the sparkly ocean at its side, with mountains and hills its backdrop remarkably unspoilt in its pristine coastal location its golden fine sands make it perfect for walking and running (just don't cross it in the afternoon!) with great caution advised - the crashing waves at its shoreline demand respect make it spectacular and magnificent all the same the perfect place to lose yourself and just breathe grateful to experience such wondrous beauty!!
