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.

This 18th-century church, built with funds provided by silver tycoon José de la Borda, is the centerpiece of the town's main square.

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

We went the first Monday of November, and the water was very beautiful blue color, very clear. Almost no people. There are 3 parts. The lower part you walk in as you enter is quite developed, the upper part with 5 pools is less so. Once you get to the very top crossing a small bridge, there are authorized volunteer guides offering free tours( we gave a tip at the end) into the wilder completely undeveloped part. So the reviews complaining that it's too touristy, you guys, just didn't explore far enough. If you don't see guides, ask for one. The place is strikingly beautiful, the pictures don't do it justice. The time of the year we visited there were a million of butterflies all around. A very refreshing paradise. A must! We took a combi from Taxco, it cost us 27 MXN ( about 1.5$) each way, 40 min ride. The drivers were very nice, stopping at a scenic waterfall view so people could take pictures. There are food stalls in the park, bathrooms, and changing rooms. We really relaxed and hung out there for more than 3 hrs, I think. If you're in a hurry, you'd need up to 1.5 hrs depending if you want to see all 3 parts of the park
