Manzanillo
Nature is undoubtedly Manzanillo's best attraction. Its twin bays, Manzanillo and Santiago, where crystal blue waters lap the black and gold volcanic sand, have caught outsiders eyes since Cortes conquered Mexico. Manzanillo also has significant rail connections to the interior.
Activities
- SCUBA divers will love Manzanillo - there are lots places to have a good underwater diving experience without the need to boat out anywhere. Local firms cater for all skill and experience levels, and if you want some proper classes as a foundation to getting certified, you can do this as well!
- There are several lagoons along the coast which are excellent places to go bird watching.
- Alongside the Playa Azul, and Playa Las Brisas you'll find a selection of nice seafood restaurants in open air, next to the Pacific Ocean. You can enjoy great seafood here while watching and listening to the sound of the mighty Pacific, as it delivers its huge waves onto the beach just a couple of dozen yards away.
Currency
Mexico's currency is the peso (MXN). The $ sign is used to refer to pesos, so don't be shocked at the price tags. Any prices in U.S. dollars are listed as US$ or USD. Many hotels, restaurants and shops also accept major credit cards, which usually offer you a good exchange rate.
