Taxco Day Trip

We will pick you up from your hotel at 7 am and make our way to Taxco de Alarcón, the silver capital of the world! This trip will take approximately three and a half hours.

Once there, we will visit local silver workshops to learn about the mining industry and its history. We will also learn about local craftsmen and their uses for zinc, copper, and silver.

The tour will then visit the church of Santa Prisca, a Spanish-Baroque style basilica known for its detailed ornamentation and altarpiece representing the Souls of Purgatory. This site is a testament to the craftsmanship of the region and its mining history.

After the visit, you will have two hours of free time to explore the craft shops and colonial streets of the Zócalo, or Plaza Borda. You can seek out temples like San Bernardino de Siena, San Miguel Arcángel, or San Nicolás and sample local cuisine in nearby restaurants.
