Breve historia de Zihuatanejo
It is part, along with Ixtapa, Acapulco and Taxco, of the well-known Triángulo del Sol. It is located on the coasts of the State of Guerrero and the Golden Pacific. Its name comes from the Nahuatl language and means ”place of women” (not to be confused with another famous destination, Isla Mujeres, the island of the goddess Ixchel).
Zihuatanejo is a small town adjacent to Ixtapa, six kilometers from each other. Today it still maintains the relaxed and pleasant mentality of having been a fishing village. This tourist destination offers a variety of sport fishing and diving activities, as well as a variety of water sports.

The main beach or port beach is located in the center of the city, and is approximately 400 meters long. Here you will find the pier, which will take you to another popular beach: Las Gatas beach.
Las Gatas is not as long as the main one, but being away from the hustle and bustle of the city it is also highly recommended for those who want a little more privacy. It is common to see bathers snorkeling and scuba diving.
Wooden beach is smaller, 300 meters long, very comfortable for families with small children due to its calm waves. There are restaurants where you can buy food and beverages, as well as to get to know the local gastronomy.
