It’s farewell to Mexico City as you head south to Xochimilco, where you’ll be treated to a boat ride on the ancient Aztec canals
(recently restored ecologically). Next, visit Casa Azul, where Frida Kahlo was born, where she lived as an artist and where she
spent her last days. Behind these tall blue walls, the artist created a world of her own, and the creative spirit of the famous Latin
American artist vibrates in her paintings hang from the walls.
Upon a late afternoon arrival in Taxco, enjoy the ambiance and pool of your Centro Historico hotel.
DAY FIVE - Taxco
Meander Taxco’s cobblestone streets and come upon one mountain vista after another. They almost
(but not quite) take your mind off the shining silver that lures you from one tiny workshop to another.

which speaks of the wealth of the colonial benefactors who built it.
