Overview

Starting from Mexico City, experience the beauty of southern Mexico with our guided tour of Cuernavaca and Taxco. In Cuernavaca, the "City of Eternal Spring," explore the historic Catedral de la Asunción, stroll the vibrant plaza, and uncover colonial treasures like the Temple of San Francisco.

Then, journey to Taxco, a stunning mountain town renowned for its silver artistry. Visit a traditional silver workshop, admire the intricate baroque design of Santa Prisca Church, and wander through charming streets lined with whitewashed buildings and vibrant bougainvillea.

Join us for a day filled with culture, history, and unforgettable scenery in two of Mexico’s most enchanting destinations. Keep in mind that the tour starts in Mexico City, and we have a bit of a long journey from the city to Cuernavaca, followed by Taxco.
