However, the view from the massive cliffs and long sandy beaches fell in love with Hollywood stars, who came here especially in the fifties to seek peace and romance. At the same time, however, the city became a sought-after location for filmmakers. Belmondo was an irresistible man from Acapulco, Tarzan and Rambo were filming in the surrounding jungles with Sylvester Stallone, who immediately bought a house here. Hollywood and Acapulco simply belong together as identical twins, and film tracks can be found in a colonial fortress from pirate times. In the 1960s, however, Acapulco turned it into a year-round tourist factory, and today it is best known as the exuberant "Party Town" - a city of parties that never ends.
