Experience the heritage and history of two of Mexico's most outstanding Pacific coast towns: Zihuatanejo, a former fishing village that maintains its charm even as the population has grown in size; and Petatlan, where miracles are said to take place. This guided combo tour explores both towns and features a traditional lunch for you to enjoy during your pilgrimage.

Discover Zihuatanejo and its Old World charm

Following pick-up at your Ixtapa resort, your getaway will begin in Zihuatanejo, where you'll discover a sleepy fishing village with plenty of appeal for tourists looking for an authentic Mexican feel. You'll walk with your bilingual guide through Fisherman's Path, a cobblestoned pedestrian walkway filled with shops and restaurants overlooking the Pacific Ocean. This town's Old World fishing traditions are still evident, providing you picture-perfect moments during your Ixtapa vacation.Make a pilgrimage to Petatlan, a place of miracles

From Zihuatanejo, move on to Petatlan, a small village renowned for a church that dates back to the 1500s. Let your guide tell you the legend of how locals uncovered a statue of Jesus Christ with a cross in the water, after a ship carrying the statue wrecked in the area. Considered a miracle, the church was built to house the statue, and today's believers make a pilgrimage to this place to ask for their own miracles. Next up, visit the Gold Market, where you can shop for precious metals. Then enjoy a traditional Mexican lunch made especially for your group at a country-style restaurant, before returning to your Ixtapa resort in style.
