Overview

Taxco is Mexico's silver capital, with winding cobblestone streets climbing dramatic hillsides, colonial architecture, and hundreds of silver shops and workshops. The town feels frozen in time, with VW Beetle taxis navigating impossibly steep streets and artisans continuing centuries-old silversmithing traditions.
