Things to Do on a Cruise to the Mexican Riviera
The Mexican Riviera is to the West Coast what the Caribbean is to the East Coast, a nearby getaway perfect for a cruise. The Mexican Riviera has been a popular destination for centuries and has become known as more than just a spring break destination for college kids. Featured below are some of the best ways to spend your time cruising through the Mexican Riviera:
- The Quebrada Cliff Diver show in Acapulco is one not to be missed. Watch as these daring young men gracefully jump head first from the cliffs that line the water. At night you might find the divers completing their dives with torches in hand.
- Watch out for whales. You’ll find many of the ports along the Mexican Riviera have excursions to spot these giants of the ocean. In La Paz you can check out the gray and blue whales in the Sea of Cortez, along with dolphins and sea lions.
- See a variety of wetland birds at the Copalita Eco-Archeological Park in Huatulco, Mexico. Here you can take calming walks, or explore with a hike. The park is also home to many ruins, and many believe that people were living here more than 2000 years ago.
- Feel like an old time explorer as you ride on horseback through the Yelapa Forest, located just outside of Puerto Vallarta, to get to the beautiful waterfall.
- Get your camera ready for El Arco, an arch that was formed by ocean currents along the coast. This spot is said to be one of the most romantic spots in the country.
- Try a fish taco in Ensenada. This quick and fresh taco that substitutes ground beef for grilled or fried fish is a popular dish with surfers and southern Californians. The dish was invented in Ensenada.
