Itinerary
With our Taxco Tour, prepare to explore the colonial beauty of Cuernavaca and Taxco, two of Mexico’s most charming cities. Your day begins with a visit to Cuernavaca’s Cathedral, a 16th-century monastery that houses a mural depicting Mexico’s first saint, Saint Pope Juan Diego. The cathedral’s serene architecture and historical significance make it a perfect start to our journey, diving into the city’s rich colonial heritage.
Next, we’ll head to the Palacio de Cortés, a historic civil palace built by Hernán Cortés in the early 1500s. This landmark has stood as a symbol of the city’s colonial past. Today, it serves as the Cuauhnahuac Regional Museum, showcasing incredible murals by Diego Rivera depicting the region’s history. As you explore the palace, you’ll gain insight into the rich cultural heritage of Cuernavaca and its evolution through the centuries.
From there, we’ll take a leisurely stroll through the Borda Gardens, once the summer residence of wealthy miner José de la Borda. These lush gardens were later used as a summer retreat by Emperor Maximiliano of Habsburg and his wife, Empress Charlotte of Belgium. Walking through the well-maintained gardens, you’ll discover a serene oasis filled with native plants, fountains, and charming pathways—a perfect escape into history.
In the afternoon, we’ll visit Taxco, renowned for its stunning colonial architecture and world-famous silver jewelry. The Church of Santa Prisca, located in the heart of Plaza Borda, is a masterpiece of Baroque architecture. Take some time to explore Taxco’s winding streets and alleys, where you’ll find several silver shops, boutiques, and restaurants.
Finally, no visit to Taxco would be complete without exploring its pre-Hispanic mine, the only one in Mexico open to the public. The native peoples of Taxco exploited this ancient mine in the 1400s before it was closed to prevent the Spanish from taking control of its valuable resources. You’ll uncover the stories, legends, and myths surrounding this historical site as you tour the mine.
With the Taxco Tour, you will be able to experience the best of Cuernavaca and Taxco in a lovely and shorter trip.
