Experience the beauty and history of Acapulco through getting acquainted with our beautiful women!Acapulco was an unspoiled paradise located in the Pacific coast 3,000 years ago. Its first inhabitants were the Nahuas, the tribe predecessor of the Aztecs, according to archaeological findings dating back to over 2,000 years ago. It’s name is derived from ancient Náhuatl words meaning “place of giant reeds.” The “de Juárez” was then officially added to its name in 1885 in honor of the former Mexican president, Benito Juárez. Dive into Acapulco’s history and know how it has been known as one of the great cities in Mexico. Before it became known as Acapulco of Mexico, Francisco Chico, on behalf of the Spanish Crown, arrived in this area. He was the first ever foreigner to step on Mexican territory, and named it Santa Lucia in 1521. The newly-founded city quickly escalated into an important trading center between Asia and America. Its economy boomed and resulted to an increase of population; moreover, its wealth attracted the attention of legendary pirates such as Sir Francis Drake, Morgan and Cavendish. Due to frequent pirate attacks, a castle was built by the Spaniards to protect their investment and called it Fuerte de San Diego. However, as the area was near the Pacific ocean, it was prone to earthquakes which destroyed the castle in the 18th century; however, it was rebuilt on the same era. Yet, what stole the city’s glory was not the pirate attacks but the Mexican War of Independence when it was burnt down, thus killing the trade route. It had its chance to catapult and regain its importance during the California Gold Rush when many of the ships to Panama stopped over its port. During those times, a lot of the passengers were fascinated by its beaches’ natural beauty that some of them settled down in the city.
