A great day trip to an overlooked gem in Acapulco - Our trip to Palma Sola was marvelous. Though a bit tricky to get to, it is well worth the trouble. And we had the site to ourselves. The glyphs are interesting for anyone interested in the history and origins of the region, the location is peaceful and generally quiet, and the views are spectacular. We did not have the lunch mentioned, but that was fine, since we live in Mexico, and mercados are pretty common fare for us, but Mario was kind enough to take us instead to the very fine mask museum. All in all a wonderful morning.

Xenia and Alex - Rudy - is the best tour guide ever. We saw a lot of tour guides all around the world but this guy beat them all. His energy, his manner of telling is so breathtaking that it seems like you are visiting the best place on Earth. Now continuing traveling to other cities we are always missing Rudy and wishing he could be the tour guide in all parts of the world. But, unfortunately, you could be blessed to order his excursion only in Mexico...

A very interesting day - Our tour began with a visit to the central market. We picked up several other tourists and we all visited the market together, then broke up into groups to see different things, later we met back up at the restaurant for lunch. The market was an experience like we've never had before. It was just like we've seen in travel shows on TV. It was interesting to learn how the locals do their shopping for their fruits and vegetables, tortillas, meats, medicinal herbs, pinatas, and clothing. There were also restaurant stalls so the shoppers could eat while doing their shopping. We were able to sample several kinds of unique fruits. It was quite an experience. The petroglyph site was very interesting. It is a shame that it is hardly visited by anyone, tourists and locals. A week into the new year we were the first visitors. There is a lot of interesting archaeology to see and the carvings were in very good condition. Jesus was genuinely appreciative of the historical significance of the site and proud of the local heritage. We enjoyed his company very much. Also, the view of the city from the top was spectacular!!! It is a bit of a steep climb though, but worth it. Lunch was included at La Cabana on Caleta beach. This was our second visit to this restaurant, and we enjoyed the view of the beach. They had fans and misters to help keep you cool. The food was tasty and it was interesting to see how their version of tacos is quite different than American's version of tacos. Their tacos were rolled and deep fried with the toppings served on the side. Most Americans would call this Taquitos. A restaurant near us calls them crisp meat burritos. It was nice to be able to visit with the other tourists at lunch and hear about their experiences. I would have liked to have given this tour 5 stars, but it seemed very strange to us that our guides, Mario and Jesus didn't seem to know the way to the petroglyphs. It is our understanding that Jesus is new on the job and still training, still it seemed odd that he has lived in the city all his life and didn't know where something was. I really don't know what Mario's excuse was, as I believe he has been a guide for some time. He didn't know the way to where we were going on another tour we took with him also. We had to stop and ask several people for directions and spent at least 10-15 minutes driving around the hillside trying to find the way. It just seemed strange that they didn't have adequate directions before we went.
