- FinTravelCatHelsinki, Finland210 contributionsEntertaining showWent to a scheduled show, which cost 6 USD. There was plenty of people watching. The best places to see the show was deep down using plenty of stairs. The diving could be watched quite well from the top of the hill as well.Visited March 2023Written March 16, 2023
- Madamtravel33Washington DC, District of Columbia5 contributionsAmazing cliff divingRead about the famous divers who have been jumping for decades and wanted to check it out for myself since I was in Acapulco. I paid 100 pesos ($5-6) to enter. Once we got in, we walked down a bunch steps to get a good spot to take in the diving. I don’t think it really matters where you are. The divers are diving above you. The show starts about 10 mins after the hour. The show it short but fascinating. Amazing to watch.Visited July 2023Traveled with friendsWritten July 9, 2023
- Tamale624Los Angeles, California96 contributionsBrave and beautiful in AcapulcoI have always wanted to see these cliff divers ever since I saw them on a sports TV show. The jumps are from very far and it is truly impressive how brave and beautiful the divers are. It is fearsome but it is a tradition and worth the time to visit.Visited August 2023Traveled with friendsWritten September 12, 2023

I stayed at the El Mirador hotel, that overlooks the cliffs of La Quebrada. Every day during the day and the night there are diving shows which made Acapulco famous. The location in on top of a hill that overlooks these cliffs. It is about a 40 minute drive from the airport. There are some bars and restaurants to enjoy a drink and have local food. Tour buses show up for the diving shows. There is enough parking here. If you want to tour the local area, just walk down the hill and experience the local people and culture. It seemed very safe here as there was plenty of security. If you want to splurge, visit the La Perla restaurant that overlooks the cliffs and have a great view of the diving show.

I went today to see the show (cliff diver) at el Mirador. Around 7pm 2 spotlights were too bright and all the customers at El Mirador can barely see the show. The waiter told us that the divers want to have more money from the hotel and it has been two week already since they put strong spot light to the restaurant. The spotlight was so annoying we could not see the divers nor took a vdo. we paid our bill and rush to the stair outside.

The name means "the broken" since the cliffs were dynamited to quarry rock for a hotel (according to a sign at the scene). The cliff views are amazing and the cliff divers death defying. There was a carnival atmosphere each night as the locals congregated to view the divers. Every visitor to Acapulco should include this site at night.

This is where the famous cliff divers of Acapulco demonstrate their diving skills. This takes place at the hotel Mirador at the La Perle restaurant. You will need to buy a drink and tip the divers who come to you for money. These divers gracefully leap off the cliffs into shallow and dangerous waters 140 feet below.

I looked at many lists of things to do in Acapulco and this was in the top three on most of them. I agree.
The first show starts at 7:00 p.m., it's worth paying a few dollars to go down to the observatory deck, and it's just a great experience.

Came here as a child of 12 in the Acapulco of old, and still it has the same feel today. Granted it's a paid entry now.... Yet the divers do not disappoint, these daring souls leap out and truly dive off the cliffs... a heart-stopper for spectators. Worth the visit!

I found this place very nice because I really liked the sea. At the beginning I was afraid to get into it but then I started swimming and I felt very calm, it is not a very expensive place, it is accessible and it fits my budget. My stay in Acapulco was the best, everything seemed good to me, the lodging, the food, the culture and the society, the only bad thing that happened to me was that I burned too much due to the strong heat.

It's taken me ages to find this to be able to write a review because TA keeps filling it's pages trying to sell trips......what a pain in the rear!
Anyway, saw The Clavidistars once in daytime, and fried, and once in the evening. Both were good for different reasons so for the sake of 100peso try them both.
I wouldn't diver 35m......would you?

Los clavados son todos los días, se manejan tres horarios por la tarde. Es más recomendable ir a los clavados nocturnos de las 22 horas, se recomienda pagar los 40 pesos, el pasillo se encuentra muy lejos para poder apreciar el clavado en su totalidad.

Es seguro ir con la familia a acapulco?

So se puede. Asumo que con la Familie no sales en la noche a rumbos extraños y no compras drogas. Si te quedas en las zonas turísticas hay el riesgo de robo dinero como casi en todo el mundo pero no hay asaltos duros ni raptan niños etc. Si se puede hacer vacaciones en Acapulco con niños.

Sim, eles mergulham em determinada hr da noite. E não é apenas 1 mergulho, mas uma sequência. São vários "mergulhadores". Eles descem juntos uma colina, com tochas acesas nas mãos, fazem um verdadeiro espectáculo

What is the phone number to call la quebrada?

Hi Luckyman5 - I just googled Hotel Mirador which is adjacent to La Quebrada and is a common place to watch the cliff divers from. On my first trip to Acapulco, my late husband and I ate dinner there and simultaneously watched the cliff divers. If you just want to see the shows the telephone number of the hotel is 011-521-744-483-1260. Good luck and enjoy your trip to Acapulco. I would recommend that if this will be the first trip to Acapulco, go to the concierge at your hotel and a complete city tour can be arranged. WE did not do this and it took us many years to see everything they would have shown us.
