The main tourist locations in the State are: Acapulco, Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo and Taxco. However, there are many more options available to visitors to Guerrero; including its history, archaeological sites, beautiful artistic expressions of its indigenous people and its lavish Nature, which has given us mountains, valleys and fertile lands watered by lagoons, estuaries, large rivers and beautiful beaches.

The State of Guerrero is a cultural mosaic, enriched by native ethnic, groups such as the Olmecas and, later on, the Tlapanecos, Cuitlatecos, Purépechas, Mixtecos, Nahuas and Amuzgos; as well as communities descending from groups originating in Africa, and people with a mix of our three races: indigenous, African and European.

Likewise, Guerrero has played an important role in the creation of an independent nation in search of progress, equality and justice. On September 14^th, 1813, the First Congress of Anahuac was established in Chilpancigo, before which the document known as “The feelings of the Nation” by General José María Morelos y Pavón was read and which declared the abolition of slavery, castes and taxes. Subsequently, on November 6^th, the Act of Independence of Mexico would be announced.

In Iguala, following the embracing of Acatempan, where General Vicente Guerrero saved rebel ideals, the Army of the Three-Guarantees sealed Independence. Furthermore, the first symbol of Independent Mexico was created: the National Flag, which Agustín de Iturbide ordered from his tailor, José Magdaleno Ocampo, a native of Iguala.

In Ayutla, Guerrero, Juan Álvarez began the War of Reform, which, following the triumph of the Republic, led to the liberal plan and the defeat of the French and the Conservatives. The generous South offered up its courage and blood, and defended the principles of democracy, social justice, land and freedom, which motivated the great social revolution of the 20^th century. more »»»
