Whereas Europeans could only dream of traveling to such distant countries as Mexico in the past, dozens of itineraries to different parts of Latin America are now available at every travel agency. And it won’t cost you a fortune — there are even budget tours available that are affordable for travelers of any income level. For example, correspondents Ar Pander decided to get to know Acapulco better — a top resort city on the Caribbean coast. And they shared their vivid impressions of their Mexican vacation.
First impressions of Acapulco
Since they managed to get tickets for a night flight, the journalists arrived in the city after dark, so they were unable to get a good look at their surroundings. However, their first impressions were overwhelmingly positive — warm, gentle air, lots of greenery and flowers, the sea, and palm trees. Upon arrival at the hotel, these impressions only grew stronger, because although the chosen hotel was more expensive than expected, it was located on the seashore with its own fenced beach and green area.
When morning came, the correspondents went for a walk in the city center and were pleasantly surprised, because in this part of Acapulco, everything is geared toward meeting the needs of tourists. There are many cafes and restaurants in the center, as well as establishments offering traditional entertainment and small markets with local products and souvenirs. It is noteworthy that on their way, tourists often encountered scantily clad attractive Latinas with ambiguous behavior. It turned out that these were Acapulco escorts at work — the sex industry is legal in the country, and the best prostitutes are allowed to work even in the central part of the city.
In addition, on the way to the hotel zone, the company came across a brothel in its classic form: with a bright sign, erotic posters, and pretty employees near the doors. Such establishments, like the elite escorts of Acapulco, also operate legally, but the prices there are higher than those of street girls. However, it is not necessary to entertain yourself with individual girls in intimate salons — you can quietly enjoy delicious drinks and bright erotic shows, which are regularly held for local residents and interested foreigners.
Excursion to the outskirts
Although foreign tourists are strongly advised not to visit the outskirts of Mexican cities due to the high crime rate, our journalists decided to explore the city from this side as well. To do this, they had to hire an experienced guide and several security guards to avoid dangerous situations with the locals. After this walk, our impressions of the city changed a little — the residential area is not very clean, as residents throw mountains of trash directly onto the streets. On every corner, strong-smelling street food is sold from simple trays and carts, and there is no point in talking about sanitary standards here.
On every major street, there are police and military uniforms keeping order. And in the quiet alleys, dozens of homeless people and illegal immigrants deported from the United States sleep. In addition, there are cheap prostitutes in Acapulco on every corner, ready to work for just a couple of dollars. But contacting them is dangerous for both the health and wallet of tourists — there are often scammers and thieves among the girls.
You can also purchase non-standard sex services in Acapulco — homosexuals, transsexuals, and followers of non-traditional erotic practices work freely in this part of town at affordable prices. However, local experts advise tourists to order escort services of any kind online, as there are dozens of websites with local professionals working in Acapulco. Prices are more reasonable online, and the level of safety is much higher.
