Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa Attractions

By air daily from Mexico City and from other Mexican and American airports; by bus from Mexico City about 9 hours, from Acapulco about 2 hours; by car from Mexico City on the well-constructed Autopista del Sol (MEX 95) and MEX 200 in about 7.5 hours, from Acapulco 240km/150mi on the MEX 200. The road via Toluca and Ciudad Altamirano should be avoided because of road conditions and risk of accident.

The former fishing port of Zihuatanejo, situated on a sheltered bay, is surrounded by beautiful beaches, wooded hills and rocks. Together with the smart resort of Ixtapa, which was not founded until 1975, it is one of the most relaxing seaside resorts along the Mexican Pacific coast.
