Taxco Tour

We'll meet at the indicated time at Benito Juarez street in Taxco to start this guided tour of the historic center. Our first stop will be at the ex-convent of San Bernardino de Siena, originally built in the late 16th century and renovated in 1804 in neoclassical style after being destroyed by fire.

Next, we'll visit the back of the building to see the statues of penitents, commemorating Taxco's Holy Week. We will then walk to Plaza Borda, also known as Zócalo, meaning "place where they play ball". We'll stop in front of Casa Borda, a cultural center built by José de la Borda in 1759.

We'll also pass by the exterior of Casa Humboldt, the Viceroyalty Art Museum, and Casa Figueroa (or Casa de las Lágrimas). Lastly, we'll visit the Church of Santa Prisca and San Sebastian, known as one of the most beautiful baroque churches in Mexico.

Our tour concludes 2 hours later in front of the silver tianguis, an open-air market selling various silver jewelry.
