Taxco
Mexico is situated in the northern region of the American continent linking the Gulf of Mexico on the east and the Pacific Ocean on the west. It is encircled by the United States on the north and by Guatemala and Belize on the south and is divided into six tourist regions. These regions are Northern Mexico, Central Mexico, Southern Mexico, The Yucatan Peninsula, The Pacific Coast and The Baja California Peninsula.
Originally called Taxco de Alarcon, the silver capital of Mexico is situated in Mexico’s southern region, 138 kilometers north of Chilpancingo, the state capital of Guerrero and 151 kilometers south of Mexico City, off Highway 95. The climate is warm and humid, with an average year-round temperature of 19º centigrade.
