Zihuatanejo
This tranquil little bay, known to the native Aztecs as Zihuatlan or "place of women" was discovered by
Spanish travelers in 1522. In spite of some modest tourist development in the 1970's, Zihuatanejo retains
the serenity and charm of that same sleepy little fishing village. Experience intriguing native markets,
informal dining, and a low-key, casual atmosphere.
Ixtapa
Forty years ago, Ixtapa was uninhabited rocky cliffs, mangrove swamps, and coconut plantations. Today,
Ixtapa lays claim to being the premier resort location on Mexico's west coast. World-class golf, a 450-acre
marina complex, boutiques, all-night discos, and restaurants are elegantly blended with the unspoiled
ecological nature reserve that surrounds it.
