Despite its size, this city remains a popular tourist spot in Mexico – and it’s easy to understand why.
Taxco is home to some incredible natural wonders, including spectacular waterfalls that flow into shimmering turquoise pools.
Taxco is also known for its colonial architecture and narrow cobblestone streets that will make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time.
However, the main thing that the town is famous for is its incredible silverwork. Anyone interested in buying silver items will find the greatest selection here, as well as good prices.
The Taxco Cableway is another must-see for awe-inspiring views of the city, while those interested in history should check out one of the many museums and monuments in the area.
