Customs & Traditions - A closer look at Guerrero

The tour starts with a thorough introduction to the history of the region at the anthropological museum in Zihuatanejo, after which you will drive along the Pacific coast to the picturesque village of Petatlan.

On the way, you will stop at a local bakery and if the owner is working, which is not always guaranteed, you may observe the old fashioned way of preparing fresh coconut bread. The tour of Petatlan includes the market with the different Mexican spices and chiles, cactus and herbal medicines and the opportunity to buy gold at very reasonable prices. Because the people of the state of Guerrero link many miracles to the "Cristo de Petatlan", the visit to this church will be one of the highlights of the tour. On the way back to Zihuatanejo you will stop for lunch at an oceanfront restaurant, before returning to your hotel in the early afternoon.
