Caminata en Palma Sola - A trip beyond the beach, up the verdant hills among the clouds to walk among eighteen distinct ancient petroglyphs carved in granite, two to three thousand years ago. A one kilometer climb at your own pace, where you can pause, take in the silence and the symbols, and contemplate the prehispanic history of Acapulco. Highly recommended.
Un viaje más allá de la playa, subiendo los cerros entre la neblina para caminar entre dieciocho petroglifos tallados en granito, hace dos o tres mil años. El recorrido es de un kilómetro, pausando, contemplando el silencio, los sÃmbolos y la historia prehispánica de Acapulco. Muy recomendable.

Great tour with smooth day planning! - Rudy, Romeo, Santiago were great tour guides in showing us around for this tour! Great insights on seeing the petroglyphs and beautiful view of the city once you get to the top of the mountain. The Municipal Market tour was great in seeing what and where the locals do on a daily basis. Not so much of a touristy area but that was great. Got to try some good tacos and liquor! Would recommend to get more time to have eat and sit down somewhere but I do understand time is essential. The tour was very fixed on having a personal guide and feeling comfortable with wherever we were at. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone up for an adventure!

The market tour was a fun and interesting look at Mexican culture and their way of life. As a bonus we even received a YouTube video of our tour and a slide show of all the pictures our guide had taken during the tour! Great tour and highly recommend!</p>
