OVERVIEW
Going Loco, in Acapulco that's what visitors of the beach resort come to do. And if you're into that kind of thing, it's a perfect place to do it. There are great beaches, the water is always warm, and the sun always shines. When the sun doesn't shine there is nightlife until the sun comes back up again.
You would probably not expect this, but the city of Acapulco goes back about 2000 years. It was founded by the Nahua indians who were the predecessors of the Aztecs. When Cortes arrived in Mexico, Acapulco was in important trading post.
