Acapulco Day Trip Guide: Lagoons, Silver Cities, and Ancient Stones
The Pacific breeze carries the scent of salt as you stand on the edge of the Coyuca Lagoon, watching the local wildlife shift in the mangroves just miles from the high-rise hotels. You can leave the coastal density of the city behind for a few hours to see the quiet side of the Guerrero state, where the pace slows down significantly. Mid-Range Excursions Worth the Upgrade # If you want to balance your time between nature and local culture, the Jungle Coyuca Lagoon Boat Ride Experience & Baby Turtle Release is your best choice at 142 MXN. This tour focuses on the ecological side of the region, and because it is a small group excursion using a sedan or van, you avoid the chaos of larger bus tours. It is ideal if you are traveling with family or prefer a shorter six-hour window to see the area. My advice is to bring a hat and high-SPF sunscreen, as the boat ride exposes you to direct sun for a significant portion of the trip.
