About this experience

This is a Sedan or Van Tour. Dive & breath under the surface of Acapulco to experience everyday life in this astonishing Mexican city. Take this, the most complete Excursion in town that will drive you through the most interesting places and also in a walking discovery journey.

Visit:
The The Mercado Municipal and its "witchcraft market", is really an eye-opener! and it is fascinating. There will be so much to see—dry goods, housewares, 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 would prefer not to ask about.

A workshop to learn how to manufacture a piñata, witness a Mexican bakery, a Popsicle factory and more to learn why Acapulco is not just a resort town but a vibrant town to discover.
