Manzanillo
Mexico's busiest port, Manzanillo is a growing tourist
destination and port of call on the southwestern coast of Mexico.
Known for its beautiful golden beaches, including Salahua, Las
Hadas, and Miramar, the town also has a golf course, and an
excellent archaeological museum, as well as a number of good
restaurants and bars.
Known as the 'sailfish capital of the world', it's no wonder
that sport fishing is among the top activities in Manzanillo. Other
water-based activities are sailing or kayaking to Isla Navidad,
scuba diving and snorkelling along the coral reefs and shipwrecks,
and surfing. The best surfing in Manzanillo is just up the coast in
Playa Miramar, Playa la Audiencia and Playa Olas Altas. Serious
surfers can head further north to Barra de Navidad.
A peculiar phenomenon Manzanillo is known for is the 'green
flash' that appears in the sky at sunset. This can be viewed from
any altitude, and is best viewed from the beach.
Information & Facts
Language
Spanish is the official language in Mexico. Some English
is spoken in tourist regions.
Money
Mexican currency is the New Peso (MXN) divided into 100
centavos. Credit cards are widely accepted, particularly Visa,
MasterCard and American Express. Travellers cheques are generally
accepted, but cannot be cashed on Sundays. ATMs are available in
most cities and towns and are the most convenient way to get money,
but for safety reasons they should only be used during business
hours. Although most businesses will accept foreign currency it is
best to use pesos. Foreign currency can be exchanged at one of many
casas de cambio(exchange houses), which have longer hours
and offer a quicker service than the banks.
