| Acapulco is a city with a
long and storied history. As far back as 1530, the Spanish built ships
on the settlement occupying present day Acapulco. The Spanish occupiers
used the resulting fleet of ships to trade goods from Mexico for goods
from the rest of the developed world. Thus, ships laden with fine
Mexican silver and other luxury items would go out bound for the
Philippines, where traders from around the world would meet to trade
their goods. After the trades were negotiated, Spanish ships returned to
present day Acapulco carrying Chinese silk, spices, ivory, pearls, and
other precious stones. These early Spanish traders helped introduce the
people of Mexico to these exotic goods from around the world.
People from around the world still come to Acapulco of course, though
not necessarily in search of silk, ivory and spices. These days visitors
to Acapulco come in search of fun, sun and surf, and they find all this
and more in great abundance.

attractions. No matter what you are seeking from a vacation, chances

The entire Cancun region is a treasure trove of Mayan influence.
Stone temples uncovered during the construction of the areas resorts
tell a tale dating back to the 12th century. As you move further
inland, you find magnificent ancient cities and ceremonial centers

For those people
planning a vacation in Mexico, Cozumel is definitely one of the
places to consider. Even after decades as a popular vacation resort,
Cozumel remains a serene, quiet and undiscovered piece of paradise.
The resort of Cozumel is actually the largest inhabited |
|
|
island in Mexico. The
combination of natural beauty and visitor amenities rivals any
Caribbean island destination. Until recent years, Cozumel was known
mainly as a popular port-of-call for cruise ship passengers and not
much else. That has begun to change, however, as more and more
visitors discover the stunning natural beauty of Cozumel.
The city of Cozumel is sometimes overrun by day trippers from Cancun
and departing cruise ship passengers. This temporary population
swell dissipates a few hours later, and the many wonders of Cozumel
can then be explored at a more leisurely pace. Cozumel has long had
a reputation as the premiere spot for serious divers, and with good
reason. The waters surrounding the island feature some of the most
beautiful and delicate coral formations anywhere in the world, and
the sea creatures that call those coral reefs home are some of the
most fascinating and beautiful to be found anywhere.
The diving and snorkeling
opportunities in Cozumel are the stuff of legend. Divers can spend
hours exploring the undersea coral formations and exploring the
remains of the great Spanish galleons that once made Cozumel their
home.
