Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo
Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo Travel Guide
Although they couldn't be more different, Ixtapa (eesh-tah-pa) and Zihuatanejo (zee-wha-ta-NEH-ho) are marketed together as a single resort destination. Zihua, as it's often called, was a remote fishing village with minimal tourist traffic for hundreds of years. Ixtapa was created in the 1970s when Mexico's National Fund for Tourism Development (FONOTUR) cleared away a coconut plantation and constructed hotels, shops, and a marina.
