The best photos of Taxco aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Teleferico to Monte Taxco will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Ex-Hacienda del Chorrillo for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
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 photography tour route in Taxco. The audio walking tour can include stops such as 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.
Use this page as a starting point for a Taxco walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Taxco. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
Taxco attracts visitors for silver crafts and colonial architecture, and Teleferico to Monte Taxco and every landmark doubles as a photography opportunity when you know where to stand and when the light is best. A photography-focused walk pays attention to reflections, leading lines, and street scenes between the landmarks. Hidden photogenic spots like Ex-Hacienda del Chorrillo reward those who wander off the main path.
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.
