2. We will continue our tour on the way to Taxco, a colonial city with hundreds of years of history, located on a hill with winding cobblestone streets, cozy squares and a strong imprint of the old world that has managed to survive through the centuries. Here there will be time to have lunch where you want and then we will visit one of the largest churches in Mexico: Santa Prisca, built in 1759 in a New Spanish Baroque style and with stones from the area. Taxco is known worldwide for its silver mines and is one of the oldest mining centers on the continent, with working mines and a culture of metal crafts dating from the time of the Viceroyalty. You will have the opportunity to see and buy silverware in this exclusive place. At the end of the visit we will return to Mexico City.

About Mexico City

Mexico City is a vast, high-altitude capital built over the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan, rich in museums, murals, markets and outstanding food.

The Zócalo, one of the largest squares in the world, is framed by the Metropolitan Cathedral and the National Palace, where Diego Rivera's murals tell the story of Mexico. Beside them, the excavated Templo Mayor reveals the heart of the Aztec capital, and the Palacio de Bellas Artes, with its marble exterior and Art Deco interior, stands a short walk west.
