La Quebrada Cliff Divers

They perform daily shows for the public, which involve diving 30 or 41 meters (98 or 135 feet) from the cliffs of La Quebrada into the sea below.

Acapulco cliff diving was regularly featured on weekend sports television programming in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s when the USA High Diving Team competed with the La Quebrada Cliff Divers annually during the Acapulco Christmas Festival.

Swiss big-band leader, playboy, club owner and hotelier Teddy Stauffer, the man who is credited with turning Acapulco into a world class resort and for some time managed the El Mirador Hotel at La Quebrada, actually turned the boys, who were diving from the cliffs there, into stars, some ten years later.

The 1963 Elvis Presley film Fun in Acapulco brought the cliffs to worldwide attention.

The Cliff Divers show as seen from the El Mirador Hotel is a popular cruise destination.
