This is one of the famous natural-human shows in Acapulco--it's amazing how these boys dive from a rocky cliff. There is a show in the morning, one at sunset, and the best one (in my opinion) is the night show because at night they dive with torches and fire. If you want to drink a margarita, go in to the Plaza Las Glorias hotel (that is an RCI resort, too). Go in to the restaurant that has a nice view of La Quebrada and you can see the show from the restaurant and see the sunset--it is very romntic.

If there is a single most spectacular sight in Acapulco that nobody should miss, it MUST be the sight of local divers jumping off the cliffs at La Quebrada.

At various times during the day, and into the evening, tourists and locals gather on the platform decks near the El Mirador hotel to watch the young men swim across the narrow channel into the rocks, scale the cliff, pray to God (good strategy), and then dive 120 feet down into the raging waves as they smash against the base of the cliff.

Dramatic? You bet your garbanzos!

Sunsets can be spectacular here, and you really don't know whether to concentrate on the spectacle of the divers or the majesty of God's own daily fireworks display. Either way, you come up a winner!

At night, the divers hold torches as they jump and they still do two divers at once. These guys have some serious cojones!

The best place to watch is from the lowest public platform. The decks at La Perla restaurant inside the El Mirador hotel are good, too, but drinks cost out the yin-yang. Some people charter boats to see the spectacle from the water, but I have no idea what that costs. I also see cheapskates parking their cars along the arched bridges of Av. Lopez Mateos, but you'd need binoculars to get a good view from there . . . best to just pay a couple pesos to walk down to the lower public platform--no sense being a penny-pincher for a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle like this.
