The Cliff Divers

  • June 20, 2004
  • Rated 5 of 5 by rebecca1g from Tucson, Arizona
Awesome, of course, and not to be missed! Please tip the divers because, hey, they just dove off an extremely rocky, steep cliff into a tiny inlet of water!! Don't eat at La Perla unless you want to pay a lot for mediocre food. We watched the divers from the observation deck and it was darn awesome.

It was pretty cool to watch them dive. Definitely watch the last two shows of the evening. It's done with fire and looks pretty cool. The food wasn't anything to write home about, but the experience was. I imagined Elvis Presley singing there while I was eating. The atmosphere was great and they do take care of you there. Have the concierge at the resort reserve a table for you. It was an awesome table to view the cliffdivers from.

This is a must see. If possible, dine at the restaurant to see the show. The food is delicious and you watch the show by candlelight. They do have shows thoroughout the day, too.

Cliff Divers

A trip to Acapulco cannot be complete without a visit to La Quebrada to see these fearless cliff divers! For a mere 30 pesos (US$3), you gain entry to the observation area.

These brave divers swim across a narrow channel 21 feet in width and climb up the side of the cliff across the way using their bare hands and feet -- no ropes! They climb over 100 feet above the treacherous waves that are crashing into the rocks below.

After a brief prayer said in front of a small monument, they take their turns in the fantastic dive show! Some jump solo, others in pairs or triplets! The water is only 11 feet deep in the channel below, so their jump timing with the incoming waves is critical!

Dive shows happen several times during the day and night. At night, they jump holding flaming torches. Both shows are different in their own right, so if you have time, try to see both!

The Death Defying Divers of La Quebrada

  • April 18, 2003
  • Rated 3 of 5 by Moseby from Toronto, Ontario
It cost 20 pesos each to get in to view the divers. The best place to view the divers is to go right down to the bottom (lots of stairs to climb after the show) and go right up to the brick wall facing the cliff. Bring water because it gets very hot down there, there's no wind, and it also gets very humid. After watching the show we were just soaked and couldn't wait to get back to the Mayan Palace to dive into the pool.
