This full-day bus tour from Mexico City lasts about 11 hours and includes visits to Cuernavaca and Taxco, with optional stops for lunch and a guided visit to a pre-Hispanic mine. The tour begins with a visit to Cuernavaca, the capital of Morelos state, located near the Tepozteco mountains. Participants will see the Cuernavaca Cathedral, a 16th-century walled monastery featuring a mural of Mexico's first native saint, Felipe de Jesus, and may visit the Museo Regional de los Pueblos de Morelos, housed in a former conquistador's residence with murals by Diego Rivera. After Cuernavaca, the tour continues to Taxco, a colonial city known for its silver mines and shops. Taxco is set on a hillside with cobblestone streets and historic buildings. Visitors will explore a silver workshop to learn how to identify quality silver and can purchase silver art made by Mexican artisans. The city’s notable landmark, the Santa Prisca church, built in 1758 by the French immigrant José de la Borda, will also be visited. If selected, the tour includes a one-hour lunch at a local restaurant in Taxco. Another optional visit is to the Mina Prehispánica de Taxco, a pre-Hispanic silver mine. Here, visitors descend in an authentic mining elevator to explore mine corridors and view exhibits explaining how ancient settlers extracted minerals. The company provides round-trip transfers from the meeting point and a guide throughout the tour. Drinks are not included. The tour involves some walking on uneven terrain.
