Jardin Botanico Culiacan

Reviewed By renecX1549RY

Well I think the botanical garden is a great place to go walk, with family, alone, its just amazing. It is not just a garden where you go see plants and thats it, you can actually interact with different activities or services that this garden provides you. You can take pictures and learn about the different plants that you can find there. This garden also provides a lot of different cultural activities such as concerts along the year, movie nights and other different events. Recently this place has been remodelated for a better experience for the people go. Schools also can have access to this center by going on a learning trip, this includes a person wich gives you the tour of all the center it very cool. In this garden you can also do excercise by running around the garden and there are also groups of crossfit training, in wich you can sign up.

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!

Museo Casa de Las Lagrimas o Casa Figueroa

Reviewed By ayunh2016

I somehow managed to avoid setting foot in a single silver shop during my stay in Taxco - this attraction is much more to my liking. Arrived right as it was opening and got a great tour in English by a sweet matron. It was amusing to hear her describing some of the ghastlier chapters in the house's history. I was also really intrigued by its incarnation after it was purchased by Señor Figueroa - lots of signed photos of American celebs - Bette Davis, Elvis, a youngish Richard Nixon (!) who passed through on their way to Acapulco back in the day. I would like to know more about this man who preserved the house while decking it out with art and a tiled bar from whence he served visitors a complimentary glass of tequila after he turned it into a museum. (Alas the tradition did not survive him) I really like this kind of museum, where the former occupants books of detective stories and the like are shelved alongside more rarified volumes. I could almost imagine that that nifty triptych medicine cabinet contained 60s era powders and pills!

We have walked by here many times without going in. So happy we now have. A very friendly, knowledgeable staff person took the small entry fee and then explained a lot of the museum to us. We were also given a sheet of information in English. Very informative and great to have this local museum.
