Default Flying in Mexico?

I'm taking a holiday in Mexico, near Acapulco, around Christmas, and was
interested in doing some flying whilst there. I've located a GA airport
nearby and was wondering if anyone knew the deal renting?
I'm a PPL from Europe...

TIA


Unless the law has changed, you can't rent a Mexican registered
aircraft without a Mexican pilot license - and you can't get a Mexican
license unless you are a Mexican citizen. You might be able to find a
local charter with a Mexican pilot who will let you do some flying?
They are very protective of their little pilot community and don't
encourage competition from anyone.
Cheers and good luck
