Acapulco - Place of big reeds

The original Mexican resort town, Acapulco still remains a major destination and a worthwhile trip. Acapulco has been a popular resort for tourists taking long holiday weekends and cruises from the United States, the Mexican interior and countries in South America. It is the number one spring break destination among U.S. college students.

The name "Acapulco" comes from the Nahuatl language, and means "place of big reeds".
