The quaint colonial village of Ixtapa is set amid the lush, mountainous terrain of Mexico's southwestern coast. It is a stunning natural beauty. Ixtapa, a natural park and ecological reserve, is also known in Mexico as El Dorado Pacifico (Golden Pacific) from the cliffs forming coves, inlets and small bays and because of its beautiful beaches.
Ixtapa was born in early 1972 when FONATUR (the National Fund for Tourism Development), which also developed resorts such as Cancún and Huatulco, began designing the master plan.
Visit Ixtapa and discover the best of what Mexico has to offer - delightful and friendly people, first-class resort accommodations and breathtaking, natural beauty.
