I got my first bracelet from Hecho a Mano more than 15 years ago, and this is THE place to visit in Taxco when looking for original designs. Their jewellery is unique and spectacular. If you can't make it to Taxco, you can also order through their web site. I just ordered a bracelet for Christmas and had an excellent experience with Manuel. My new bracelet arrived and it is even better than I expected. It is work of art and I love it! I highly recommend Hecho a Mano.

I'm always amaze on the level of intricacy the churches in Latino America. We couldnt walk a round the inside of the church, we just made it to the entrance. Go and visit beautiful architecture. The only thing that might be annoying is the supposed tourist guides that are pushy but some of the free info they're willing to share as u walk towards the entrance of the church. The one thing i wish would be access to the bell tower as a guided tour that would really cool

Visited Taxco from Mexico City with Mexcity Tours. We had an hour and half to explore on our own the area of the Zocalo. What a lovely place to enjoy. The Zocalo is surrounded by many shops, Santa Prisca Church and the very interesting winding narrow roads going up to the hills filled with vendors selling their wares, food and souvenirs. It is even fun to watch all the vehicules trying to manoevre down those narrow winding roads leading to main circle around the Zocalo. In the Zocalo there is alot of things going on. Now the Zocalo is not very big-no where near the size of Mexico City or Acapulco. But it is very pretty and quaint. A lot of people just sitting around on the benches, with some vendors walking around selling souvenirs or selling snacks like churros. There was even going on while we were there a few shows in the square-a folkloric dance group and a fashion show of some comic book characters

If you are up for a little hike, take the narrow alleys and stairs up the mountain. The last part is a little tricky if you don’t go up the regular road as it leads through the woods up the hill. It’s fairly steep and just a small trail. Otherwise just keep following the road up the hill. Be sure to ask for directions as you go up the hill. The easier way to get up is to grab a taxi. Once you’ve arrived you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views! Absolutely worth it!
