Just outside the town of Acapulco on the hillside sits the La Perla Restaurant. The buffet is decent, but the view is why you have come here. Below sits a cliff, with four brave men, lining up to dive into the churning ocean water below. These Clavadistas of La Quebrada put on a diving show 5 times a day: 12:45 pm, 7:30 pm, 8:30 pm, 9:30 pm, and 10:30 pm. The dive is into a narrow, rocky channel and they must time the dive with the incoming waves to have enough water to leap into without hitting the bottom. They make it look easy, but it is very scary. muy macho, these fellows. Leave a Comment Directions: Take a taxi to "Calle La Quebrada", near the old centre of Acapulco

I have been to this event many times and it still amazes me. If you like sit at the La Perla for drinks while you watch the divers. The diving begins at 7:30pm and I think ends at 10:30pm with diving with torches. After each dive the divers will come up thru the crowd to collect tips. They are great divers. World famous. Usually the 7:30pm is about the time sunset is happening. It is gorgeous. Must see for Acapulco Leave a Comment Directions: Take a taxi to "Calle La Quebrada", near the old centre of Acapulco

We went to the famous La Quebrada, a beautiful scenery of natural cliffs where you can see fearless men plunge into the sea from heights up to 136ft. This is an indescribable spectacle. The fearless divers plunge 136 feet into the crashing pacific below, landing on a 9 1/2 foot deep inlet, it has since the 1940's been one of Mexico's famous attractions. You can see these divers in 2 areas, 1 from a restaurant which you can buy drinks and food while watching the divers and another one is a like a deck where you can pay about 1 dollar a person or so to watch and take videos. Definitely a must see in Acapulco, how can they dive that high in shallow water???? AMAZING!!! Leave a Comment

Definitely a must-see, a tourist-trap, and opportunity to meet other travelers all wrapped up in one. The activity is self-explanatory: there are divers off cliffs here. The make what is potentially very dangerous look very easy. Apparently over time, their spinal cords shorten or become crushed because of the pressure their bodies encounter when they dive into the in-roaring waves from such heights. The cliff diving is one must-see activity that Acapulco is known for at least in the tourism aspect. Leave a Comment

Let's face it, if you are a tourist there is a good likelihood that you have heard of the cliff divers from Acapulco. If you think this is just a silly attraction for organised tours, you are both wrong and right. The spectacle is quite scary and their courage must be admired. But the place will be full of tourist cars too. Ask your hotel concierge about the times for the diving sessions and make sure you come a little early. Finding the location is not easy if you are on your own, make sure you get clear directions. Once there, you will have to pay for a place of choice. The restaurants overlooking the cliffs can let you in for the consumption of a drink, don't necessarily go for a full meal. Besides this, Acapulco is about the its endless beach and roasting under the sun :) Leave a Comment

Cliff Divers: I don’t insist that this is the best thing to do in Acapulco – but it’s quite amazing to see people risk their lives like that… for about $2US... Leave a Comment

To see the cliff divers was one of the rasons I decided to make a stop in Acapulco. They are one of the main atractions in Acapulco.
So, one of the first things I checked in Acapulco were the times when clavadistas performe. The first show was at 11.30 the other 4 later in the evening, staring at 19.30 and later. I've been told that show is spectacular during sunset, but I had to catch my bus so I want to see the first show. Normaly 3-4 divers perform, but this time 5 of them appeared. First: they were late, secondly: they were total show-offs, walking around like gods, thirdly: it took them very long to get ready to start the show, which was over very quickly. You'll notice that before they jump, divers pray in front of one of the two small shrines.
The show didn't impress me that much. Sure, it takes lots of courage and skills to jump and I give them respect for that. But it's nothing special. If you want to see the show and don't want to pay for the ticket (although it isn't that expensive - 15 pesos), you can get a good view from the other side of the cliff. Leave a Comment Directions: Take a taxi to "Calle La Quebrada", near the old centre of Acapulco or walk (app. 15 min)
