A Gorgeous
Day Trip
I found myself working more and exploring less during my second week in Mexico City, but I still manage to fit in a lovely day trip to Cuernavaca and Taxco.
Cuernavaca
The City of Eternal Spring
Roughly 55 miles south of Mexico City is the city of Cuernavaca. Known for its great weather, rich history and abundance of flowering plants.
My visit here wasn’t long, but plenty of time to enjoy the sun and take in some of the history.
Taxco
Pueblo Magico
50 miles southwest of Cuernavaca is the “magic town” of Taxco. A true charmer that should not be missed!
Know for its silver and cobblestone streets, this hilltop village could very easily steel your heart.
I loved Taxco. The winding narrow cobblestone roads, the views, the shops, the art & architecture. It would have been a joy to stay and explore. Maybe take one of those VW Beetle taxis to a nearby cave or waterfall, visit the old silver mine or just catch a glimpse of the city at night from a rooftop terrace.
If you find yourself in Acapulco or Mexico City, you will not regret a day trip to Taxco.
