"A la vera del mar, una mirada a la arqueología de Acapulco". Museo Histórico de Acapulco Fuerte de San Diego y Zona Arqueológica Palma Sola
A guided tour that connects two key sites for understanding the archaeological history of the Acapulco region.
The experience begins at the Acapulco Historical Museum, Fort San Diego, an iconic historic monument whose star-shaped military architecture constitutes one of the most important defensive systems of the New Spain Pacific coast and currently houses a museum dedicated to regional archaeology and history, trans-Pacific trade, and the historical evolution of Acapulco.
The tour then heads to the Palma Sola Archaeological Zone, located on the slopes of Cerro El Veladero, a site renowned for its pre-Hispanic petroglyphs created between approximately 800 B.C. and 750 A.D.—material evidence that offers insight into the worldview and way of life of ancient groups settled in the region.
The event will be led by archaeologist Cuauhtémoc Reyes Álvarez and will allow participants to explore archaeological, historical, and landscape features that illustrate the long history of human occupation in the Acapulco region.
The tour may be of particular interest to students, researchers, families, domestic and international visitors, as well as those seeking to understand the relationship between cultural heritage, territory, and historical memory.
