Overview

Safe Trip: Because we care about you, we have put in place an international Safe and Healthy Protocol during all your tour. Only small groups allowed.

Enjoy one of the most exiting tours in Mexico visiting two of the most iconic and most visit cities nearby Mexico City: Cuernavaca and Taxco.

Beginning with "the City of Eternal Spring", in Cuernavaca, you will be able to appreciate the set of buildings that make up the cathedral of Cuernavaca, one of the first and the oldest on the continent, as well as the Palacio de Cortes.

Later we will go to a town nestled in a mountain, Taxco, capital of silver; a place where, in addition to extracting this valuable mineral for more than 4 centuries, you will be able to appreciate the ingenuity and creativity of the silver handcraft masters of Mexico, applied to sculptures, jewels, and a wide variety of utensils, all framed in a magic town that still retains the colonial charm for more than 200 years.

Here there will be time to have lunch where you wish and then we will visit one of the largest churches in Mexico: Santa Prisca, built in 1759 in the baroque style of New Spain and with stones from the area.
