Acapulco is a city and major sea port in the state of Guerrero on the Pacific coast of Mexico, 300 kilometres (190 mi) southwest from Mexico City. It is a port of call for shipping and cruising lines running between Panama and San Francisco, California, United States. Acapulco is also one of the most important tourist destination in Mexico. The tourist resort city of Acapulco is the largest city in the state, far larger than the state capital Chilpancingo.

Acapulco is famous for its explosive nightlife, postcard beaches and unlimited watersports. Most beaches are in the bay area fronting the main boulevard "La Costera". This bay area is what made Acapulco famous and its beauty and majesty have not faded over the years. Some of the most popular beaches inside the Bay and lining the La Costera are Hornos, Papagayo, Tamarindos, and Icacos. Most hotels in Acapulco are found along the Costera.

The climate is tropical and humid with sun the greater part of the year. July and August are the hottest months and the rainy season begins in June and runs through October. The winter season is a privileged time, barely humid.
