Three severed human heads were found in a Mexican resort town that was previously a favorite vacation spot for Hollywood stars and other rich people. Police attributed the gruesome discovery to a cartel bust and urged tourists to be careful, according to a report by the Daily Star over the weekend. We are talking about Acapulco.
The heads were found in the Bellavista and Laja areas. Authorities cordoned off the streets where the body parts were found and carried out a series of search operations. Let us remind you that this city is considered one of the most dangerous places on the planet due to high crime and drug cartel activity.
It is believed that the city, which previously attracted celebrities for its beaches, and the state of Guerrero are now under the control of several gangster groups. As a result of the bloody incident, the US and UK governments advised their citizens to avoid traveling to the region unless necessary.
Information: The Mexican city was very popular among rich and famous tourists in the 50s of the last century. Thus, it was visited by Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, John Kennedy, and his wife spent their honeymoon there in 1953. However, it is now a dangerous area for tourism.
Many no longer believe that Acapulco will be able to attract tourists again, although it has all the data for this. Firstly, the city is located on the Pacific coast, along which sandy beaches stretch. Acapulco is located in a large bay and is surrounded by the Sierra Madre Sur mountain range. Secondly, the sheer 40-meter cliff of La Quebrada can attract divers as a suitable diving point.
