World Capital of Silver

Timeless Architecture

Enjoy the Colonial & Historic Charm of a Taxco & Cuernavaca Day Trip

Escape the busy streets with a day trip from Mexico City on an extraordinary journey into the countryside, where you’ll delve into the authentic rural life of Mexico. Our adventure begins with a brief stop in Cuernavaca, renowned as the “City of Eternal Spring” where you’ll explore the majestic cathedral and capture panoramic views of this picturesque city.

Amidst towering mountains lies Taxco, the heart of our tour. For centuries, this town has thrived on the silver mines that dot the region, making it one of the oldest mining centers in the Americas. Without a doubt our Taxco tour will steal your heart with its beautiful sights, cobbled streets, stunning church and serves as a haven for silver aficionados.

At a specialized center, you’ll gain insights into the artistry of silver and build an appreciation for this precious metal. Then, take a wonderful walking tour through Taxco’s cobblestone streets, leading you to the splendid Santa Prisca Church, a masterpiece of architectural beauty dating back to 1759.

Join us for a day of rural exploration, cultural discovery, and a glimmer of silver, as we journey beyond the vibrant Mexico City.
