La Quebrada
It was at the beginning of the 1930s when young boys started competing among each other to surprise tourists by diving over 100 feet high cliff carefully coordinated with the waves as they crash in.
As time passed, “La Quebrada” became an important part of Acapulco culture. Today, it’s a spectacular show of warriors jumping from the cliff offering their lives, diving with flaming torche at night and paying a tribute to the virgin of the seas.
* The bag is made of pineapple leather and hanmade embroidery elaborated in Xochistlahuaca, Guerrero by the artisan Violeta Macedonio.
