Chilpancingo de los Bravos Attractions

 
How to get there

From Mexico City by bus (approximately 4.5 hours) or car (MEX 95, about 300km/186mi).

Chilpancingo de los Bravos, capital of Guerrero State, is situated in a valley on the slopes of the Sierra Madre del Sur. The city itself has little in the way of tourist attractions but its location at a junction on the Cuernavaca to Acapulco road makes it an excellent base from which to explore the still largely undisturbed mountainous regions both near at hand and further afield.

History

Since ancient times the area around Chilpancingo (Náhuatl: "place of the wasps") has been the home of a succession of Indian tribes, the Olmecs being the first to leave any traces.
