Even the most urban corners of Taxco hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Green spaces like Zocalo (main plaza) and Teleferico to Monte Taxco offer a breathing room between landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find anywhere in the city. Seek out quieter retreats like Ex-Hacienda del Chorrillo for the calm that the busier parks can't offer.
Taxco is Mexico's silver capital, a dramatic hillside town where whitewashed buildings and red-tiled roofs cascade down steep slopes, with silver workshops, a stunning Baroque church, and some of the most dramatic walking terrain in the country.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided nature walk route in Taxco. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Zocalo (main plaza) — a compact hillside plaza shaded by Indian laurel trees directly in front of Santa Prisca church, where silver vendors display their wares at sidewalk cafes, Teleferico to Monte Taxco — an aerial tramway rising above the terracotta rooftops to the Monte Taxco resort, offering views of the town's dramatic hillside setting and Santa Prisca below, plus hidden gems like Ex-Hacienda del Chorrillo — a colonial-era hacienda converted into an art school, with gardens and views over the valley.

Taxco is known for silver crafts and colonial architecture, but between the busy streets, spaces like Zocalo (main plaza) and Teleferico to Monte Taxco provide a different kind of experience — calmer, greener, and more grounded than a typical sightseeing route. Quieter spots like Ex-Hacienda del Chorrillo provide the kind of rest that the main attractions cannot.
Taxco is extremely steep — almost every walk involves significant uphill or downhill sections on narrow cobblestoned streets. Wear shoes with excellent grip and take your time on the descents.
October through May offers dry weather and comfortable temperatures, with November's Feria de la Plata (Silver Fair) being the town's biggest cultural event.
