Description

Discover Cuernavaca and Taxco on a guided tour departing from Mexico City and immerse yourself in Mexico's colonial and mining history!

You'll meet your guide at the meeting point in Mexico City before setting off for Cuernavaca, nicknamed the "city of eternal spring". You'll discover a destination that has been popular since pre-Columbian times, and where historical figures have taken up residence. You'll stroll through this city with its rich heritage, palaces, gardens and peaceful atmosphere.

You'll continue your excursion to Taxco, a listed national monument and famous for its mining past. Upon arrival, you'll enjoy a panoramic view of this city nestled in the mountains before heading to the historic center. You'll start your visit at the Zócalo, the Constitution Square in the historic center, surrounded by cafés and colonial buildings, before discovering the museums and typical cobbled streets. You'll pass the Santa Prisca church, an emblematic example of Mexican Baroque architecture. Its pink stone façade and carved details bear witness to the craftsmanship of the colonial era.

You'll also have free time for lunch, or you can relax in a local restaurant if you've selected the option with meals.

If you wish, you can also add a visit to a pre-Hispanic mine to your experience. You'll be immersed in the world of silver mining, Taxco's major historical activity. You'll descend into the mine using an elevator and discover the underground galleries where the minerals were extracted.

At the end of your day, you'll take the road back to Mexico City, your head full of memories after this cultural and historical immersion.
