  • Archaeological Zone of Xochicalco
    We will head to the pre-Columbian city of Xochicalco, which was a very important ceremonial center that existed between 650 and 900 AD, and its apogee came after the fall of Teotihuacan. Once there, you will learn about the culture of the people that lived in the area, as well as the relevance of this city in the past. We will visit amazing constructions such as the Temple of the Feathered Snake, the Acropolis, and the Astronomical Observatory, among others.
  • Taxco
    Built on a hill, the historic center of Taxco is a succession of cobblestone squares and labyrinthical streets that gain height towards the hill. We will stroll through the main square to browse in the ​silver flea markets, and explore the goldsmiths' workshops to see wonderful handicrafts designed by the locals. On the way, you will have the chance to try local food such as jumiles or iguana tamales; or pozole, the typical soup from the area. Also, you will learn about the mining past of Taxco while visiting its main imposing monuments such as the Santa Prisca Church or the Casa Borda.
