Taxco, Mexico
Taxco, Mexico
Nomadic Bard
The greatest town you've never heard of. Taxco is a charming hillside escape from the commotion of nearby CDMX and Cuernavaca. Sink into the life of this charming cobblestoned Pueblo Magico. With plenty of things to see, eat, and do, Taxco is the perfect destination for a long weekend getaway.

What we did in Taxco
Plaza Borda
@nomadic_bard
Taxco's front yard, Plaza Borda or "The Zocolo" is the main square of the city. All roads seem to lead here. Enjoy the sights, relax on the benches, grab a bite, or barter for souvenirs from the local street vendors in this lively town plaza.

Santa Prisca de Taxco
@nomadic_bard
The intricate facade of this stunning cathedral towers over the main square in Taxco. Especially stunning as the sun begins to set.

Taxco Cableway
@nomadic_bard
A relaxing ride above the treeline whisks you to the top of an adjacent hill to Montetaxco Resort.

Cristo Rey. Cristo Monumental.
@nomadic_bard
A 60ft tall statue of Christ perches atop this hill in Taxco. Fantastic views of the city below. You can walk here, but Taxco's unforgiving geography makes taking a taxi the logical choice.

Pozas Azules de Atzala
@nomadic_bard
45 minutes outside of Taxco is this stunning series of impossibly blue pools cascading down through a tree lined canyon.

La Mina
@nomadic_bard
A short but thoughtful tour takes you into an old mine to showcase the mineral bounties of the area. Great prices on local silver in the gift shop you end up in after the tour.

Armandos Taqueria
@nomadic_bard
Seriously, the BEST taco we've ever had in our lives. At less than $1 USD a piece, it's all too easy to order a half dozen, and then a half dozen more.
