La Capilla de la Paz

TIME : 2016/2/18 10:00:45

Perched on a hilltop high above Acapulco is this quiet spot for reflection, an airy '70s A-frame chapel with translucent onyx windows surrounded by beautiful views of Acapulco and out to sea. The chapel’s giant white cross is visible from miles across the bay. In the late afternoon, tourists jockey for positions to capture the sun setting within the sculpture of clasped hands. Access is via a gated compound: you may have to leave ID at the gate.
