This has been the center of its commercial existence for centuries. Next, walk towards the Zocalo, or town square to see the town church. Here, you will see the focal point of the town's religion. Then comes your time at the local shopping area. You will have 30 mintues to browse for Mexican handicrafts and other items of interest.

The adventure begins as you are escorted from the tender pier by your English-speaking guide and taken on a 30-minute sightseeing ride through Zihuatanejo and Ixtapa’s outskirts and surrounding area to your horse ranch. At the ranch, you will be given instructions on how to ride and given a horse that will be matched to your ability, interest and experience. Your guide will then escort you on a beautiful trail, which leads through the close growing jungle. After your adventurous ride through the jungle, it’s time to mosey back to the ranch and restaurant, where you will enjoy some time before returning to the ship. You will be offered a granola bar and something to drink.
