Noteworthy footage includes: the Olympic facilities, focusing on the stunning "Sports Palace" resort city of Acapulco, site of the sailing events; internationally renowned Museum of Anthropology, showcase of Aztec and Mayan heritage; and nearby market towns with bullfights, fiestas & silver markets.
