More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You ease out of Acapulco with the ocean shrinking in the rearview and the highway folding up into the mountains. The vehicle hums along Federal 95 — coastal humidity gives way to the drier, warmer air of the Cuernavaca valley — and the landscape shifts from palm-lined beaches to terraced fields and volcanic foothills that seem to push the road forward.
