這一次行走墨西哥，沒有前往聲名遠(yuǎn)揚(yáng)的坎昆和梅里達(dá)。上帝對(duì)墨西哥一定是偏愛的，所以讓人無論行走在哪個(gè)城市都可以清晰地感知她厚重的文明與別致的景色。阿卡普爾科艷麗的海與好萊塢式的魅惑讓人仿佛回到電影里的黃金時(shí)代。沉睡了幾個(gè)世紀(jì)的文明秘密至今仍燦爛在墨西哥城之下。塔斯科的銀礦已經(jīng)消殆，但傳說與工藝永不落幕。我想這一次，是經(jīng)過了墨西哥最華麗的盛放。

This time to Mexico， we dont visit the famous cities like Cancun and Merida. God must have preferred to Mexico. Whoever walking on the any street of any city， he can clearly perceive Mexican thick civilization and unique scenery. The gorgeous sea in Acapulco and charming Hollywood make people feel like returning to the golden age of the movie. Sleeping Civilization under the secret is still bright in Mexico City. Silver mine in Taxco has almost disappeared， but the legend and the process never ends. I think this time I meet the most gorgeous blossom in Mexico.

Love of the Old Time in Acapulco

Acapulcos long coastline and harmonious ecological system mark the status of its vacation paradise. When it comes to Acapulco， perhaps people may think of “danger” and “violence"” and other harsh words quickly， but ignore the beauty. She even has no chance to appeal. Is the reality really that bad？ In fact， Acapulco is wrongly unjustified， like many cities in Latin America are. The violence and theft occur occasionally， but the city police and plainclothes are scattered in the streets and squares， such as corner to protect people. Traveling must be with cautious， but you dont have to see this beautiful city as a scourge.

On our way to the hotel， guide on the car passionately tell the guests from all over the world the success and glory especially the famous hotels all along the way. He is familiar with the hotels history and the background of the owners. Banyan Tree Hotels& Resorts lies in excellent geographical location. Not far from our hotel， there is a beautiful golf field. The players can enjoy the golf pleasure out of the hotel. It is worth mentioning that if you remain skeptical about Acapulcos public security， I suggest you reserving Fairmont or Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts and other five-star hotels whose facilities are perfect with superior position and more secure system.

1、Fun by Sea

Acapulco has clear blue sea water with stretches of beaches， in addition to the steep cliffs and rocks. There are many entertainment projects. The beaches near the cape and Potomac beach are the cleanest. If you feel hesitate to swim in the sea in the misty， you can consider to take a paraglide to view picturesque bays. You can also attend fishing swordfish and sword fish fishing contests. If you love sports， playing tennis or going to any golf course of the Acapulcos six can be a good choice.

In the west of Acapulco Bay， there is a world famous diving cliff named Lablab. “U” character is about 4 meters wide between the two cliffs. Wind here is strong and the terrain is rather rugged. The huge waves hit the walls to rumble the thunder. The professional trained local boys， opening the arms jump from ten-meter cliff to the water， which is very exciting.

Beside sea， there is a main coastal road， along which you can go through the old houses and shops. Along the road to moving on， you can reach the Gulf Beaches and Calityra Beach， bypassing some simple restaurants and water equipment consist of the coarse sand. “Magical Marine world Theme Park” separates the two beaches. Starting from the Gulf Beach， it takes only 10 minutes by boat to the mountainous Overlooking Island， where you can take a glass- bottom boat tour around the island， and go to the island in a small zoo to see lazy animals there. In a cool day， you can also climb to the lighthouse on the island to see the bay scenery.

2、Fresh and Delicious

Acapulco believes and follows the saying “By the sea， live on the Sea”. Thanks to abundant marine resources， Acapulco people are also good at making products. If you like tasting food， go to the seaside. In the seaside restaurant around the gulf， shrimp， swordfish and swordfish are the main course dishes. If you have a chance to come here， make sure to order an Acapulco ceviche which is fresh but not obliged.

Most distinctive food is called “Ceviche”. The ingredients include small cut pieces of fish， shrimp and octopus or chopped onion， tomato， parsley， green pepper， tomato sauce and lemon juice. It tastes sweet， sour， and spicy. There is another kind of soup called Pozole， with boiled corn and pork. You can add some fresh shredded radish， green onion， dried chili sauce， lemon juice and so on. Still there is a lot of seafood that is surely worth a try， such as shrimp curry rice with light curry taste， dry but plumped rice， and buried shellfish and other seafood in it. Grilled fish is also delicious. Brush a layer of sauce after coated. There remains the original flavor. Not only seafood， Acapulco also has exquisite and delicious fruits and vegetables. Acapulco with mild climate has a variety of flower blooming all the year round. Mango， papaya， watermelon and other fruits grow throughout the year. Local people have distinguished features in eating fruits. Tourists like to eat fruits directly or squeezed into juice， while the local people prefer to squeeze some lemon juice or little pepper on it to make Mexico style of fruit salad. Although Acapulco is a coastal city， corn products and cactus ingredients are still common in each restaurant. TACO has the charm everywhere.

Mexico City Crossroads of the Past and the Future

It is difficult to pin down Latin Americas biggest city： one of those rare places in the world where different civilizations lie stacked on top of each other like a giant layer cake. In this vast metropolis of over 17 million， tradition and modernity rub shoulders in every lane and square， church and park. Its a city that seems to offer endless things to do and eat， places to see， ways to relax and things to discover， and its almost impossible to escape the feeling that maybe you lived here in another lifetime.

Climbing the ancient pyramids of Teotihuacan or gazing up at the gilded altars of the Metropolitan Cathedral， the largest and oldest cathedral in the Americas， you wonder whether this is your first time here or not. The weathered stones of the City seem to hold memories of your own that are just beyond the minds reach， always just about to be remembered， but left to the imagination.

Teotihuacán：Place of the Gods

Just outside of Mexico City an hours away are the enormous pyramids of Teotihuacán， built by an ancient civilization even older than the Aztecs. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is an ancient city and religious center， perhaps the most important in all of the Ancient Americas.

Living time capsule： the Zócalo

In the heart of Mexico City is the Zócalo， Mexico Citys Tiananmen Square， where the city center remains frozen in the baroque splendor of New Spain. This enormous square seems like a giant time capsule， returning visitors to a time when Mexico City was the Spanish Empires proud capital in the New World.

Stroll down living history： Avenida Madero

Many of the architectural treasures of the City Center can be experienced by walking down the pedestrian street， Avenida Francisco I. Madero （or just “Madero” for short）. There are so many things to see like the short 6-block walk from Zócalo to Palacio de Bellas Artes， the national Opera House， which can easily turn into a visit of 2 hours or longer.

The“City of Palaces”， the“ City of Museums”

Mexico City is nicknamed the “City of Palaces”but it might as well also be called the“the City of Museum”， as it has more museums than any other city in the world. This is perhaps unsurprising considering how the Mexican people value their past and preserve their traditions. The two not-to-bemissed museums， without a doubt， are the National Anthropology Museum located in Chapultepec Park， and the Museo del Templo Mayor on the northeast corner of the Zócalo， which sits over what remains of the Aztec capitals most important temple.

Evolving Traditions and Edible Arts

The unique way that Mexico cherishes its past while living in the present goes beyond buildings. Mexican people preserve their historic capital， and build fascinating and detailed museums to document their millennial civilization. Some of the best ways to see the unique way that the past is alive in the present in Mexico is in its pots and pans.

Its hard to know what century – or even millennium – your dish is from here. The first national gastronomy to be named a UNESCO intangible world heritage， Mexican cuisine draws on its the incredible abundance of fresh and varied ingredients， ancient Mesoamerican culinary methods， Spanish cooking and that of more recent immigrants. Rather than do away with the culinary traditions of the indigenous population， Mexican food has evolved fusing together the foods of its changing population– a process which continues today.

Love of the Old Time in Acapulco

阿卡普爾科 戀戀舊時(shí)光

阿卡普爾科漫長(zhǎng)的海岸線與和諧的生態(tài)系統(tǒng)標(biāo)志著它度假天堂的地位。但現(xiàn)在提到阿卡普爾科，或許有人把它與“危險(xiǎn)”和“暴力”等惡劣的詞語迅速對(duì)應(yīng)起來，而忽略它原本的美，甚至連申訴的機(jī)會(huì)都沒有。但現(xiàn)實(shí)情況真有那么糟糕嗎？實(shí)際上阿卡普爾科本身也很“委屈”，就像很多拉丁美洲城市一樣，阿卡普爾科偶有暴力和偷竊發(fā)生，但城市里協(xié)警、便衣分散在街道和廣場(chǎng)等角落，保護(hù)人們的安全。這樣看來，謹(jǐn)慎小心是在出行必須的，但不必視這座美麗的城市如洪水猛獸一般。

在驅(qū)車前往酒店的途中，車上的導(dǎo)游激情洋溢地給來自世界各地客人數(shù)說著這里曾有過的輝煌，特別是對(duì)一路上的酒店如數(shù)家珍，什么時(shí)候轉(zhuǎn)手，什么時(shí)候翻修，酒店主人的背景等等，悅榕莊擁有這里絕佳的地理位置，在我們?nèi)胱〉木频觊T口不遠(yuǎn)處就是一座漂亮的高爾夫球場(chǎng)，愛好打高爾夫的客人出酒店就能體會(huì)到揮桿的快感。值得一提的是，如果你對(duì)阿卡普爾科的治安仍存懷疑的話，建議預(yù)定費(fèi)爾蒙或悅榕莊等五星級(jí)酒店，這些酒店不僅設(shè)施完善，位置優(yōu)越，安全系統(tǒng)也更有保障。

阿卡普爾科是墨西哥最大的港口城市，也是太平洋沿岸重要的冬春度假勝地和出口港。旅游人數(shù)要占到整個(gè)墨西哥的八分之一，歐美游客尤為眾多。阿卡普爾科在上世紀(jì)60年代十分受歡迎，那時(shí)，奢靡的好萊塢影星熱衷于在這里購買私人別墅，每當(dāng)他們回到這里，總免不了在別墅里開晚宴或在城中心的高級(jí)餐廳里用餐。今天，懷舊的阿卡普爾科人仍在曾一度輝煌的火烈鳥賓館的酒吧里喝雞尾酒，從那里俯瞰普拉伊塔斯的海浪。每到夜幕降臨，海岸兩邊夜燈閃爍，把海水照得發(fā)亮。酒吧里晝夜不停地放著音樂，吸引著墨西哥的年輕人。這里曾經(jīng)盛放，這里依舊盛放。

以海為樂（Fun by Sea）

阿卡普爾科海水湛藍(lán)，四周除了綿延的海灘外，還有陡峭的山崖和巖石，海邊娛樂項(xiàng)目有很多。在海角附近的海灘和波多馬克海灘的海水是最干凈的。如果你對(duì)在霧蒙蒙的海水中游泳感到猶豫的話，可以考慮乘坐滑翔傘觀看如畫一般的海灣，還可以參加旗魚和劍魚的釣魚比賽。熱愛運(yùn)動(dòng)的話還可以打網(wǎng)球或者去阿卡普爾科六個(gè)高爾夫球場(chǎng)中的任何一個(gè)去打高爾夫球。

在阿卡普爾海灣的西部有一個(gè)世界著名的山崖跳水地——拉凱布拉達(dá)。“U”字形懸崖絕壁之間寬約4米，這里風(fēng)大浪急，地勢(shì)險(xiǎn)峻，巨大的海浪沖擊著石壁，發(fā)出隆隆的轟鳴。當(dāng)?shù)亟?jīng)過專業(yè)訓(xùn)練的小伙子們就從高達(dá)數(shù)十米的懸崖絕壁上展開雙臂跳入浪高水急的水道，十分刺激。

海邊有一條主路海濱公路，沿著這條公路可以穿過古老的房屋和商店。沿公路繼續(xù)前行，就可到達(dá)海灣海灘和卡利提拉海灘，繞過粗沙構(gòu)成的一對(duì)巖洞路旁有一些簡(jiǎn)單的餐館和水上設(shè)備?！吧衿婧Ｑ笫澜纭敝黝}公園把兩個(gè)海灘分隔開來。從海灣海灘出發(fā)，乘船10分鐘就到了多山的眺望塔島。你可以在那里乘坐有玻璃船底的船繞島游覽，也可以去島上的一個(gè)小動(dòng)物園看看那里懶散的動(dòng)物。在涼爽的日子里還可以爬到島上的燈塔，一睹海灣景色。

海濱公路往東，有乘船的碼頭，船可以去附近特瑞斯一柏洛斯湖的小漁村，參觀那里的環(huán)礁湖。距離市中心西北部35公里處有一個(gè)淡水湖——考尤克湖。這個(gè)淡水湖的岸上長(zhǎng)滿了美洲紅樹。你可以在海灘上找一家快餐店進(jìn)餐，也可以去帕加雷拉島看一看環(huán)礁湖，或者去滑水。派德拉坡長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的海灘是騎馬的好地方。鋪著茅草屋頂?shù)牟宛^中提供吊床，供人們休閑?？加瓤撕团傻吕碌娜章涠际置利?、壯觀。偶爾還可以看見來此拍攝結(jié)婚照的新人夫婦，在海水與太陽之下，見證他們天作之合的愛情。
