OVERVIEW
Taxco is a small city in southern Mexico, with dense streets, churches and residential neighbourhoods climbing steep hills. Silver mining and craft remain central to its identity. The combination of white hillside houses, silver workshops and steep colonial lanes in a dramatic mountain town built around mining history and town gives the wider destination a distinct physical and cultural structure.
Walking, food and workshops provide the main experiences, though slopes are demanding, while viewpoints and surrounding mountain roads add variety. Experiencing white hillside houses alongside silver workshops and steep colonial lanes in a dramatic mountain town built around mining history reveals more of the destination than focusing only on its best known visitor area.
