There is nothing better than looking at a physical map of the state of Guerrero to understand how the mountainous geography of the Sierra Madre del Sur clearly marks the interior and the coast. More than five hundred kilometers of coastline with beaches for all tastes.

For foreigners, the name of the state of Guerrero may not bring any image to mind, but if we mention Acapulco, surely many snapshots accumulate in their minds that cinema and having been an international destination for stars Hollywood put in the forefront of international tourism.

Acapulco occupies an important place in the history of Mexico, having been during the viceroyalty the port of America to Asia. Here came the Nao de China, which actually departed from Manila and the Philippine Islands to link two worlds and unite two ends of the Pacific Sea. The precious silks of the East and spices came from the hand of merchants who contributed to the formation of a cosmopolitan city.

The Nao of China, also called the Manila galleon, culturally enriched this beautiful port, as merchants from all over the continent came here to buy oriental goods, such as silks, porcelains and spices, and sometimes they stayed to live in this famous place.

In addition to Acapulco, some of the most important tourist spots in the state of Guerrero are Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, Taxco de Alarcón (together with Acapulco they form the Golden Triangle) and Chilpancingo, the state capital.
