Viamigo: The Chapel of Peace, Tour Guides Van/Drivers & Tour Guides

Perched atop a cliff overlooking the bay of Acapulco, the Capilla de la Paz or (Chapel of the Peace) is a very picturesque site and well worth a visit. The non-denominational chapel is located in the very pricey Las Brisas area of Acapulco. The chapel itself is small but very quaint and charming. It has beautiful marble facades which allow lovely opaque light to shine upon the chapel interior during the day. The cross is massive (at over 130 feet in height) and overlooks Acapulco bay. At night it is lit up atop the mountain. Next to the cross there is also a smaller statue called Las Manos de la Hermandad, of two right hands joining together signifying brotherhood.

My suggestion is to try and visit this site on an early/small tour group. We visited on Tuesday morning around 10:30am with a group of only 7 people. We had the site to ourselves for most of the short tour, which was nice considering the small size of the grounds. As we were leaving we saw a few large tour groups arrive and I had a hard time imaging how they were all able to comfortably tour the small site. I would highly recommend this site to anyone visiting Acapulco who is interested in seeing more of the unique charm of the city itself. The view from the top of the chapel atrium is worth the trip alone. Acapulco bay is breathtaking from this vantage point! Bring your cameras this place is gorgeous and a perfect way to spend a bit of the day.
