Had enough of the city (Mexico City)? Are you looking for a little get away? Looking for breathtaking views of nature?
Just outside of the city you can visit a Pueblo Magico that’s known for its silver. The town is called Taxco in the state of Guerrero. The town is tucked in the mountains about 3.5hrs away from Mexico City. It can be perfect 1 or 2 day trip. Totally recommend staying 2 nights as you will be exhausted from your outdoor activities.
Once you arrive make your way to Mil Cascadas or 1000 waterfalls in English. It’s roughly 30 minutes outside of the town. Once there you will be surrounded by 1000 waterfalls, rivers, natural pools, hidden water caves, and it takes about 8hrs to fully enjoy the place.
Taxco De Alarcón, Mexico
Mil Cascadas (1000 waterfalls) you can visit on your own, but you will probably need a truck or a 4X4 on the dirt road. Feel free to go on your own, it felt safe, and the locals are friendly. If you want to really enjoy the place then book a tour with @xploratourstaxco and they will drive you to the park and guide in a safe manner with helmets and lifejackets as you will jump from waterfalls and climb up waterfalls. Be prepared to hike and have some nonslip water shoes.
Taxco Pueblo Mágico, Mexico
The town is called Taxco in the state of Guerrero. The town is tucked in the mountains about 3.5hrs away from Mexico City. The town has a charming feel to it with it cobblestone streets and all the buildings and houses are painted white. It has a warthm feeling as many of the rooftops are a red clay type of color. It has a romantic likeness to Europe’s little towns.
The town is know for it’s silver mining and has tons of silver jewelry shops to choose from. I opted to stay away from the silver shops and opted for the picturesque scenery of the main church Santa Prisca and the beautiful homes surrounding the town. Make sure to stop by and try the pozole. I tried the green pozole. I had no idea there was a red, white, and green pozole and each one is cooked and prepared differently.
