El Mercado, The Market
The Mercado Municipal is really an eye-opener! If You had never been in a real, large, Mexican market before, and it is fascinating. There is so much to see—dry goods, house wares, gorgeous flowers, candy, live roosters, fresh produce…. Many stalls featured health care products, which are a combination of herbal remedies and Santeria-type spells and prayers to saints. One of these stalls had a cage full of large live bugs, whose purpose You will preferred not to ask about.
This market is different than the flea market -- the sales people are not pushy, and the goods are fruit, spices, home baked goods, some crafts, and pottery. After visiting it, You will think You saw the real people of Acapulco. It's not a market for silver and other tourist type items, but great to buy fresh foods an other lovely items.

La Quebrada is perhaps Acapulco's most iconic attraction, a place that has come to symbolize the city itself. Every day at 1:00 p.m., young men dive from La Quebrada's perilous and jagged cliffs, timing their jump to coincide with the incoming waves that cushion their impact and protect them from landing in the shallows. Come evening, more diving takes place.
Visit the highlights of Acapulco with a guided sightseeing tour, viewing old and new Acapulco. On the way to the scenic road up to Las Brisas we will stop for a pictures and a breathtaking view of the bay and of the rich and famous residences. Then we will take you to witness the world famous cliff diver at “La Quebrada” the scenery of this cliff is the most spectacular of its kind. Pick up time 9:00 a.m., returns 3:00 p.m. Lunch included it can be done withot the lunch as well.
For generations, brave young men from Acapulco have hurled themselves off the majestic cliffs jutting out over the Pacific Ocean. These fearless fellows dive into a narrow inlet where huge waves enter and crash over the rocks. The timing of their dives is crucial and must be perfectly executed due to the dangerous water conditions below.

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.
