Description

Cuernavaca has such a fascinating appeal that even Moctezuma II and Emperor Maximilian chose to build their villas there. This charming destination is a cultural symbol of Mexico, steeped in history, spas, majestic landscapes, and authentic palaces. Its distinguished atmosphere is highlighted by impressive buildings, exquisite cuisine, and a deep spiritual heritage. Our tour continues in Taxco, a place declared a national monument. Here you can immerse yourself in its history and enjoy a panoramic view of the city before arriving at the famous 'Silver City.' The trip begins in the Plaza del Zócalo, where small cafes and charming coffee shops create a welcoming atmosphere. Discover its museums, admire the historical art, and visit the Temple of Santa Prisca, a jewel of Mexican Baroque architecture that reflects the grandeur and creativity of the era. Its imposing pink structure offers an unparalleled view. Taxco, an ancient town that was home to indigenous settlements before the arrival of the Spanish, became the first major mining center operated by the conquistadors. Today, its mine is still in operation and allows visitors to descend in an elevator to contemplate the brilliance of the silver inside, an almost magical experience. Taxco and Cuernavaca stand out among Mexico's most fascinating tourist destinations. With their history, beauty, and charm, these towns will captivate you at every moment of your visit. An unforgettable trip awaits you!
