Historic silver mining town in Guerrero, Mexico, known for silverwork, white churches and hillside old streets.

📍 Destination Overview

Taxco, a colonial silver-mining town in Mexico's Guerrero state, clings to steep hillsides and is famed as Mexico's silver capital. The ornate 18th-century Santa Prisca Church, in gilt Baroque style, is its landmark. Cobblestone streets, white colonial buildings and red-tiled roofs cascade up the slope, and a cable car climbs Monte Taxco for full views.
