what’s old is new again Just a few months ago, the Acapulco Destination Marketing Office officially opened the recently discovered zone of Tehuacalco, which lies just 50 minutes away from the city—vestiges of a pre-Hispanic culture located in the southern region of the state of Guerrero that can be visited when planning a sun-soaked getaway to Acapulco. Clients visiting in the latter months of the year may also get to enjoy Cerro del Huixteco, an eco-tourism park in Taxco.
The Fairmont Acapulco Princess on Revolcadero Beach can pamper clients with a summer-only offer of a free third night when they book two nights starting at $215 pp dbl through Sept. 30—or, they can go the Bed & Breakfast route through Dec. 19 starting at $208 pp dbl for a 3-night minimum.
turtle spotting There are more beaches in Huatulco that you can see in a few days here—about three dozen, in fact—so imagine the offerings waiting under the sea. Natural Habitat Adventures can show clients a glimpse of the life of the endangered sea turtle with a package tailored for animal lovers, who get the insurmountable pleasure of watching and helping, in the dead of night, baby Olive Ridley sea turtles make their way to sea once they’ve hatched, knowing they will one day return to the same place to lay their own eggs. They will also patrol turtle beaches to protect the eggs and visit La Escobilla Turtle Camp to learn about the turtles’ habits and conservation. Cients stay in Mazunte, at an eco-lodge that sits by a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and can also choose an optional horseback riding excursion. Prices start at $2,195 pp dbl with dates through October.
