aapco Mexico was always known for its
00:00:02
beaches Cliff jumpers and tropical
00:00:05
getaways but in recent years now it's
00:00:08
become one of the most violent cities in
00:00:09
Mexico if not the world the violence has
00:00:12
decimated the tourist business Americans
00:00:14
rarely come to aapco now but if we've
00:00:17
learned anything over our last 3 years
00:00:19
of traveling there's often a lot more to
00:00:21
a place than just what the media shows
00:00:24
you although we are always very careful
00:00:26
Travelers we do like to formulate our
00:00:28
own opinions of places B based on our
00:00:30
own experiences rather than just
00:00:32
trusting solely what other people have
00:00:33
told us that's right we just want to
00:00:35
reassure our moms that we aren't just
00:00:36
going to the most dangerous places in
00:00:37
the world just for fun if you're new
00:00:40
here we're Eric and Sarah and if you've
00:00:41
been watching for a while you know that
00:00:42
we were just in Canada at home for the
00:00:44
last couple months but we are so excited
00:00:46
to be back in Mexico that's right the
00:00:48
whole point of this channel is to show
00:00:49
you where to go what to do and how to do
00:00:51
it so subscribe if you want
00:00:58
to so the first thing that surprises
00:01:00
about Acapulco is just how insanely
00:01:03
beautiful it is here I knew it was going
00:01:04
to be beautiful before we got here but I
00:01:06
was not expecting it to be so green and
00:01:09
jungly and it is just seriously so
00:01:12
beautiful I cannot get over
00:01:14
[Music]
00:01:28
it
00:01:31
and of course we're starting off with
00:01:33
the thing to do here and that is to
00:01:34
watch the clavadistas or divers dive
00:01:37
from up there into this crazy looking
00:01:41
wavy water which is just
00:01:44
nuts and somehow this starts in 9
00:01:46
minutes and we're the only ones here so
00:01:48
I don't know if we're missing
00:01:50
something hey I don't
00:01:52
care private show Private
00:01:55
show this is
00:01:58
crazy
00:02:00
I don't like clip diving in like regular
00:02:02
calm water this would freak me right
00:02:07
out this looks
00:02:10
dangerous this guy's just straight up
00:02:12
climbing up the side of the Rock right
00:02:14
now this is insane he's making that look
00:02:18
easy he seriously is not even struggling
00:02:20
in the
00:02:22
slightest I would not be okay
00:02:26
with I'm already impressed if no one's
00:02:29
even jumping yet that's
00:02:45
crazy
00:02:50
cool wow this is so impressive insane
00:02:53
this is crazy so they're just going up
00:02:56
and up in height and then the very last
00:02:58
one which is about to go is supposed to
00:03:00
be 35 meters high crazy that's so high I
00:03:04
can't and they all just look like
00:03:05
they're not even phed by at all you get
00:03:07
the perspective when they're actually
00:03:08
climbing up there yeah it's
00:03:12
[Applause]
00:03:14
[Music]
00:03:28
insane
00:03:31
[Music]
00:03:34
so luckily where we've been staying has
00:03:35
been within walking distance of
00:03:37
everywhere that we've wanted to go but
00:03:39
the issue with that is that we've had to
00:03:41
navigate to all the different places
00:03:43
using our
00:03:44
phone
00:03:46
H but our Canadian foam plans are way
00:03:48
too expensive when we go to these
00:03:50
countries so we've had to look for
00:03:52
alternative ways to have service so
00:03:54
we've been trying this new eim out from
00:03:56
Olaf Olaf is a global eim provider that
00:03:59
that offers data plans around the world
00:04:02
we normally Buy Local SIM cards when we
00:04:03
travel to different countries but we
00:04:05
find that this takes a lot of time and
00:04:07
it's a lot more hassle than it's worth
00:04:09
especially if you're only in a country
00:04:10
for a short amount of time you're not
00:04:12
going to want to spend a day trying to
00:04:13
sort out a SIM card and plan for your
00:04:15
phone luckily Olaf has unlimited data
00:04:18
plans for almost every country in the
00:04:20
world and they even have packages for
00:04:22
entire continents so you're never left
00:04:24
without a data plan it's also super
00:04:26
quick to set up just go to olly.com
00:04:30
search your destination pick your plan
00:04:33
and scan the QR code and just like that
00:04:35
you're ready to travel and don't forget
00:04:37
to use our coupon code Eric and Sarah
00:04:39
for 5% off all purchases and topups this
00:04:42
is actually our first time using an eim
00:04:44
so we're really interested to see how it
00:04:46
works but also let us know in the
00:04:47
comments if you would want a review on
00:04:49
something like this cuz that might be
00:04:50
something we're interested in thanks to
00:04:52
Olaf f for sponsoring our video and also
00:04:54
just making our travels easier and like
00:04:56
we were saying it's super walkable in
00:04:58
this area that we're staying in this is
00:05:00
the teral area of aabco and so we're
00:05:03
actually in the zoko right now which is
00:05:05
always what you find at the center of
00:05:07
most mein towns it's very
00:05:11
[Music]
00:05:25
[Music]
00:05:27
beautiful h
00:05:30
wow how in the world are you holding a
00:05:32

00:05:34

00:05:38

00:05:44

00:05:59
want want to have a little baby and
00:06:00
travel with it yeah I feel like I can do
00:06:03
it right yeah oh no I just love I don't
00:06:06
know there's something to coming up to a
00:06:08
place that just has such a bad
00:06:09
reputation and you just meet the most
00:06:11
amazing people like everyone here has
00:06:13
been so nice we've had multiple people
00:06:15
ask us if we're loss we need directions
00:06:17
these ladies were just complimenting my
00:06:19
shoes suddenly I'm holding a baby like
00:06:20
everyone has just been so incredibly
00:06:23
nice and I mean it makes me sad because
00:06:25
clearly there's you know there's a lot
00:06:28
of crime and a reason that they ation is
00:06:30
bad here but it's just like the locals
00:06:31
are so wonderful and I just I don't know
00:06:35
I just wish everyone could experience it
00:06:37
they're just they're
00:06:47
[Laughter]
00:06:54
[Music]
00:06:56
amazing a okay adios
00:07:01
gra so nice so so nice I love
00:07:06
them okay I feel like I need to address
00:07:08
this whole idea that Acapulco is
00:07:10
dangerous we are obviously staying in
00:07:12
the most safe area of Acapulco and doing
00:07:14
the most safe things in aapco we're not
00:07:17
going to find any danger now that being
00:07:20
said there are a lot of dangerous areas
00:07:22
here in aapco but that is mostly
00:07:24
attributed to the drug trade and cartels
00:07:27
um we are not going anywhere near area
00:07:30
and really what it comes down to is your
00:07:32
own comfortability with going to some of
00:07:34
these places uh there's always going to
00:07:36
be safe areas there's always going to be
00:07:37
dangerous areas and for us I think we
00:07:39
are okay with going to places like this
00:07:41
because we know that there are safer
00:07:43
areas there's lots of tourists here
00:07:45
there's not a lot of white tourists but
00:07:48
there's a lot of Mexican tourists so
00:07:50
that just tells us that there is a safe
00:07:53
way to visit aapco but it's up to
00:07:56
[Music]
00:07:58
you
00:07:59
[Music]
00:08:11
baby this beach is so packed this is
00:08:15
insane look how many people are
00:08:17
here it is a Saturday but still people
00:08:21
are
00:08:22
vibing
00:08:28
wow
00:08:30
we're not really crowd people but there
00:08:32
is something really nice about seeing
00:08:33
all these families just having the best
00:08:35
day ever I do actually really like super
00:08:37
fun it's actually crazy I cannot believe
00:08:39
how many people are just packed in here
00:08:41
like sardines like just eating food it's
00:08:44
awesome you're going to sit at a table
00:08:45
but honestly there's not even any
00:08:53
[Music]
00:08:56
room and the last stuff of our day is at
00:08:59
our condo building and to me the most
00:09:02
interesting thing about Acapulco is just
00:09:03
the contrast between what this place
00:09:05
used to be versus now if you didn't know
00:09:08
Acapulco was the place to go in the 50s
00:09:11
60s 7s especially and there was so many
00:09:14
famous people that came here even this
00:09:16
place we're staying at used to be a
00:09:18
hotel and apparently a lot of famous
00:09:20
people used to stay here it's been in
00:09:21
some movies it's called Casablanca
00:09:23
Grande and it's just so interesting how
00:09:26
yeah you'll see all these big hotels and
00:09:29
apartment buildings in aapco that are
00:09:31
all kind of abandoned but you can tell
00:09:32
that there used to be a lot of money
00:09:34
here and a lot of tourists so it's just
00:09:36
really interesting and they definitely
00:09:38
have held on to that as like a key part
00:09:39
of aapco because you'll see just posters
00:09:42
everywhere of all these famous people
00:09:44
like that's still the thing that they're
00:09:46
most known for is the people that came
00:09:48
here years ago totally but we are
00:09:50
absolutely melting so we're going to our
00:09:58
pool
00:10:04
oh well we have had a great time here in
00:10:06
aapco oh yeah we we had a lot of people
00:10:09
tell us not to come here but we have
00:10:10
been pleasantly surprised by how much
00:10:12
we've liked it absolutely just goes to
00:10:14
show you you actually can't just write a
00:10:16
place off just based on what people tell
00:10:18
you I understand why some people
00:10:19
wouldn't like it especially if you're
00:10:20
not a confident traveler because like we
00:10:22
said it's mostly Mexican tourists that
00:10:24
are here but we've had a great time and
00:10:27
yeah we've just absolutely loved it here
00:10:29
