With its whitewashed walls, narrow cobblestone roads, red-tiled rooftops, volkswagon taxis, and mountainous backdrops, Taxco is a magical and quintessential Mexican town. During an 18th-century silver boom it became one of the richest places in the western hemisphere. Silver is still the city’s pride and joy, with hundreds of workshops that create some of the finest jewelry pieces in all of Mexico. This picturesque city is about 1hr 25 min from Hacienda Cortes (wedding location), and about 100 road miles south of Mexico City, it lies at the northern end of Guerrero state.
Tepoztlan is one of Mexico's Pueblos Magicos and boasts a remarkable mix of colonial and indigenous experiences. This region of Mexico is rich in natural energy sources—with nearby volcanoes, fertile vegetation, rivers and lakes, waterfalls, and springs of mineral water. It’s no wonder then that Tepoztlán is one of the top places in Mexico visited by people seeking alternative therapies, Aztec steam baths, healing, and health rejuvenation. There are many hiking trails and the opportunity to ascend tepozteco pyramid with amazing views at the top. This city is located 42 minutes, 30km from Hacienda Cortes (wedding location).
Built between the 1st and 7th centuries A.D., it is characterized by the vast size of its monuments – in particular, the Temple of Quetzalcoatl and the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon, laid out on geometric and symbolic principles. As one of the most powerful cultural centres in Mesoamerica, Teotihuacan extended its cultural and artistic influence throughout the region, and even beyond. The archeological centre is 55 minutes, 48 km from Mexico City's international airport.
Just a few steps away from the Teotihuacan Pyramids, La Gruta Restaurant is a unique Mexican restaurant tucked into a volcanic cave with a candle lit atmosphere, featuring a mix local cuisine ingredients with pre-Hispanic culinary heritage and traditional Mexican folk dance shows.
