  A trip to Acapulco attracts visitors ranging from spring breakers to cruise enthusiasts. Located on the Pacific Coast approximately 245 miles from Mexico City, Acapulco is a prime destination for scuba divers to see many rare species of coral and fish, including the Acapulco damselfish, reports the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. However, when the sun goes down, Acapulco is famous for its nightlife, with numerous discos and restaurants.
