Experience the variety of climates and vegetation that characterize southern Mexico with a private excursion from Mexico City. Admire spectacular landscapes full of trees and colorful flowers on the way to Cuernavaca and Taxco and explore these charming colonial towns with a private guide.
Cuernavaca has been a place of recreation and relaxation since Aztec times thanks to its privileged climate and great diversity of flora and fauna. Visit the cathedral, one of the oldest buildings on the continent, the Borda Garden, an old hacienda where the first mango trees in America were planted, and the Palacio de Cortes.
You'll then discover one of the treasures of the Sierra Madre: Taxco, the Silver Capital of the World, a colonial city with hundreds of years of history. Taxco is known worldwide for its silver mines and is one of the oldest mining centers on the continent, with operating mines and a culture of metal crafts that dates back to 400 years ago.
Take a pleasant walk along the narrow cobblestone streets lined with silver jewelry workshops, and enjoy lunch where you wish in this picturesque little town before visiting Santa Prisca, one of the largest churches in Mexico built in 1759 in the baroque style of New Spain with stones from the area.
