Taxco Tour

We'll meet at the indicated time at Benito Juarez street in Taxco to start this guided tour of the historic center. Throughout the tour, we'll discover the attractions of this Pueblo Mágico.

Our first stop will be at the ex-convent of San Bernardino de Siena, built with adobe at the end of the 16th century, renovated in 1804 in the neoclassical style.

After the ex-convent, we'll see the statues of penitents, which commemorate Taxco's Holy Week.

Next, we'll walk to Plaza Borda, also known as Zócalo. This plaza translates to "place where they play ball." We’ll stop in front of Casa Borda, built in 1759 and now a cultural center.

We'll also pass by the exterior of the Casa Humboldt, the Viceroyalty Art Museum, and the Casa Figueroa (or Casa de las Lágrimas).

Before finishing our guided tour, we will arrive at the Church of Santa Prisca and San Sebastian, considered a significant baroque church in Mexico and an emblem of the city.

We’ll conclude the tour after 2 hours in front of the silver tianguis, an open-air market selling various silver jewelry.
