La Roqueta Island, Acapulco, Mexico

La Roqueta is a Mexican island located in the SW of the bay of Acapulco, Guerrero, very close to the beaches of Caleta and Caletilla of that city, which together with the main beach of the island make up one of the most popular places in the port as a sun and beach destination. The island has been administered and protected by the Secretary of the Navy since 1981. There is an advanced project (2019) to declare it a federally protected natural area with a total area of 425-70-69 hectares, of which 85% is represented by the adjacent marine area. 

The predominant vegetation on La Roqueta Island corresponds to a sub deciduous tropical forest, a plant community where the loss of foliage is not as drastic as in the low deciduous forest, because although more than half of its dominant components shed their foliage in one season of the year, many of them are not completely defoliated or the loss of their leaves is for a short period, so it maintains some greenery throughout the year; Another distinctive feature is that many of its components reach heights ranging between 25 and 30 meters. The island also has an area with vegetation typical of low deciduous forest in a strip of approximately 20 meters around the lower part of the island. Vegetation cover is estimated at 43-60-90 hectares with a total of 162 species of terrestrial plants; there is also a record of 71 species of marine algae.

Dare to discover the world! 🤯

Visiting new destinations is one of the reasons to see the world. It is perhaps the most famous reason or the one with the most press. It is the first answer most people give to the question "Why do you travel?". While for us it is neither the only nor the most important reason, we have to admit that we love to see new places.

What are "places"? They are spaces, they are coordinates, they are geographical points but for us they are fundamentally the positions of our trajectory.

We love to live traveling because traveling is synonymous with moving and moving implies being in different places. 

We admire and contemplate nature; we are surprised, we connect, we become aware. And the good thing about knowing all these places is that nature enchants us but it is not enough, it is not enough to know the places deeply.

Moving from one place to another and staying for a while, allows us to get closer to the culture of each place: what they eat, how they travel by public transportation, what is sold in the local markets, what is the architecture, what is the daily rhythm and what are the daily activities; what is the history and what is the present, what is the political and economic situation.

In addition, in Cancun we have the possibility of visiting part of the second most important barrier reef in the world.

History of Acapulco

 Those who wish to delve into the history of Acapulco can schedule a visit to Fort San Diego , one of the city's relevant historical monuments and one of the most important maritime fortresses in the entire Pacific Ocean.

The Cathedral of Our Lady of Solitude is located a few steps from the fort and combines different architectural styles, which were amalgamated during the long construction process. At first glance it resembles a Russian Orthodox church more than the Mexican temples. A careful look will reveal the subtle neocolonial and Byzantine details, especially in the dome and towers. 

The regional touch is provided by the mosaics that adorn the interior. While on the Pinzona hill is the mural that Diego Rivera took 18 months to capture on one of the walls of Dolores Olmedo's house. The work, which shows the strength of Quetzalcóatl, the Aztec god represented as a feathered serpent, was made with mosaics and snails.
