Ixtapa is a natural paradise, and for this presume it was distinctively chosen by the Mexican government to come to be a hot spot traveler heaven; and on a minor scale, it was also chosen by Patawalk as a virtual tour destination. The history of this place is very straightforward, at one point, Ixtapa used to be a coconut plantation, but in 1968 the government along with one of Mexico's wealthiest banks planned and constructed what is now a traveler resort. As you'll see the city is organized in a very specific manner, the blocks are huge and conspicuously fashioned in odd shapes. As further proof of Ixtapa's purpose as a traveler destination is the over five thousand hotel room and villas ready to the public. Most of the hotels here belong to well-known international chains, and can be found within the 2-mile long hotel strip.
The name Ixtapa comes from the Nahuatl language and it means, "The White Place." Upon laying eyes on the gorgeous and quite pristine beaches of Ixtapa, you'll know why it was called "The White Place." Regardless of which beach you visit, you'll notice that all of these have sands as white as snow and oh, so fine and soft! Also, the city is constantly maintained, so its cleanliness certainly stands out.

As a hot-spot for tourists, Ixtapa provides tourists with a vast array of activities. Here you can enjoy whatever from beach volleyball, horse-back riding, shopping, snorkeling, parachuting, scuba diving, to surfing and all things else in between.
One of Ixtapa's main beaches is El Palmar, which offers a collection of water sports together with surfing and swimming. A nearby attraction is La Mariana de Ixtapa which has the capacity to dock over 100 yatchs and it even has a golf course! other inviting and fun-filled must-do performance in Ixtapa is parachuting. Here, you can take a parachute ride which allows you to truly take in the entire city and the surrounding areas. If you're finding for something much more exhilarating and a total adrenaline rush, then take the plunge or should I say drop off a plane and skydive. other favorite Ixtapa beach is Linda Playa (Beautiful Beach) and it truly honors its name. This beach is in the northern part of Ixtapa and unlike most other beaches this one features not only a pier where you can visit a nearby island but at the entrance of the pier you can see a small swamp with real-life alligators, whoa! Horseback riding is effortlessly ready at this singular beach. Playa Quieta (Calm Beach) is other excellent beach. Although only one mile long, this beach is absolutely calm and peaceful; it is the excellent spot to truly relax.
Aside from all the entertainment in the beaches, the city of Ixtapa offers other options. For instance, if you'd like to take a break from the beach but still want to have aquatic fun, then you must go to Magic World. This is an aquatic recreation park, something like an aquatic theme park. You'll find a pool with waves (which mimics the ocean), water slides for all ages and levels of expertise, and even a pirate ship. Ever heard of swimming with the fishes? Well, at Delfinti you can. Here you are offered the occasion of a lifetime, to swim with the Dolphins and you can even have your young child do so too. Enjoy a puny of the wilderness by going to Parque Aventura (Adventure Park) where you can walk straight through trees on a hanging bridge or a zip-line. These are things you can only see in the movies, so why not palpate it in real life?
But not all activities are reserved for the day. Ixtapa proudly boasts of an active and fun-filled nightlife too. The night is all the time young in Ixtapa and you can find it all in the boulevard and surrounding areas. Let me propose Christine Club Ixtapa, which offers a wealth of music and is the excellent compound of all kinds of vibrant music; so dress to impress. Something more informal and excellent for you no matter your age is the excellent Senor Frogs.
If you're in the mood for some shopping then go downtown. Ixtapa has a boulevard dedicated to all kinds of shopping centers and specialty stores. whatever it is you're finding for, be it a leather coat, silver jewelry, or a easy ornament, you'll certainly find it here. But one thing you must certainly buy is a world-famous "hamaca" (hammock). Interestingly, this lounging invention is native to this state. other staple of this state that you must get is a pair of "huaraches," which are handcrafted leather sandals.
Before you start packing that two-piece bikini and that sunscreen, first come take the virtual tour at Patawalk!
Ixtapa, Zihuatanejo
