Embark on a day trip that allows you to explore the colonial town of Taxco along with its famed silver mines, and visit Cuernavaca, known as "the city of eternal spring," where one of the oldest cathedrals in the Americas awaits.

Day Trip Details

At the designated meeting point, we'll set off southward to reach Cuernavaca, a destination well-loved for its temperate climate that draws in travelers throughout the year.

Upon our arrival in Cuernavaca, our journey begins with a sightseeing tour that highlights the charming colonial architecture and picturesque plazas of the historic area. We will stop at the cathedral, established by Franciscan missionaries and recognized as one of the oldest in the continent, as well as the exterior of the Cortés Palace, which served as the home for conquistador Hernán Cortés and now houses the Cauhnáhuac Museum.

Following this, we will continue our journey to Taxco, a hilltop colonial town characterized by its narrow, cobbled streets and inviting squares. As we meander through the historic district, you'll be enchanted by the majestic ambiance of Taxco, where palatial buildings, vibrant squares, and timeless streets create a captivating atmosphere. One key highlight is a visit to the striking Santa Prisca church, one of Mexico's largest.

After our exploration, you will enjoy a duration of 1 hour for leisurely lunch and exploration in the city center at your own pace.

Known as the silver capital of the world, Taxco is a must-visit for its silver mines and artisanal boutiques: an ideal opportunity to purchase exquisite local silver items at attractive prices.
