Itinerary
Get ready for the Taxco Day Trip From Mexico City! Meet your guide and head on an enchanting journey to two of Mexico’s most fascinating destinations. Our first stop is Xochicalco, an ancient city where history, nature, and architecture blend seamlessly. With a name that means “Place of Flowers” in Nahuatl, this UNESCO-listed archaeological site is a true testament to the brilliance of pre-Columbian civilizations.
Step into the past as you explore remarkable ruins, including the Temple of the Feathered Serpent, where intricate stone carvings depict sacred deities and celestial knowledge. Wander through the majestic Acropolis, a once-thriving political and religious center, and stand before the Grand Pyramid, which dominates the site with its impressive structure. One of the highlights is the mysterious Observatory, where ancient astronomers studied the sky through a carefully designed cave that aligned with the sun’s movements. As you take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys, you’ll feel the enduring spirit of this lost civilization.
Next, we continue our adventure to Taxco de Alarcón, a picturesque colonial town nestled among the Sierra Madre mountains. Known as Mexico’s Silver Capital, Taxco enchants visitors with its winding cobblestone streets, whitewashed houses, and timeless architecture. Stroll through its historic center, where the town’s mining legacy and artisan craftsmanship are still alive in the many silver workshops and charming plazas.
In the heart of Taxco stands the spectacular Cathedral of Santa Prisca, a 200-year-old baroque masterpiece adorned with intricate pink stone facades and impressive altars. Be dazzled by its ornate design and rich history, a symbol of Taxco’s golden age during the colonial period.
As the day winds down, relax in our vehicle on the way back to Mexico City, carrying unforgettable memories of ancient wonders and colonial splendor.
