After visiting Tepoztlán, Morelos we made the 2-hour drive to Taxco, Guerrero. This is a Pueblo Mágico (Magic Town) we've wanted to visit for a LONG time and it didn't disappoint. In today's Mexico vlog, we're sharing some of our favorite experiences of the trip:
- Checking out the Saturday silver market (Taxco is a former mining town known for its silver)
- Sampling some of the local cuisine, like mezcal from Guerrero and Pozole Verde at Pozoleria Tia Felix
- Getting lost in the streets of Taxco which are like a drunken spider web
- Enjoying the spectacular views of the city from various lookout points-the whitewashed buildings, red tile roofs, and mountains were so beautiful!
- Taking a few cab rides in the typical VW taxis
- Looking at the colorful and hand-crafted artesanías (handicrafts) like painted hats, VW bug piggie banks, and mugs
- Enjoying some drinks on 2nd story balconies with views of Santa Prisca church
- Staying at a historic rental with a 250-year old tree and great views (Airbnb listing: www.airbnb.com...)
Suffice it to say, this week was INCREDIBLE and we can't wait to travel back to Taxco, Guerrero again. One week just wasn't enough.

Spending a week in Taxco was one of our favorite experiences in Mexico! Which ✨Pueblo Mágico✨ should we visit next??
Give Taxco another week!
Taxco definitely deserves more than a week to visit. Once the church opens back up it’s breathtaking and definitely gotta try the Jumiles, if you don’t want them alive, they do make an Awesome Salsa from them.
Hey Tangerine's! Have you guys visited Baja? We're planning a trip to Ensenada and wanted to see if you've been there. Too much snow in Denver! Safe travels!
Santa Clara del Cobre, Pátzcuaro, Tzintzuntzan and Cuitzeo in Michoacán
Thank you for the vicarious week in Taxco. It’s gorgeous! And I LOVE the AirBnB. I’d live in a place like that year ‘round. Thank you!
Saturday mornings were for cartoons when I was a kid. Now it’s Tangerines for breakfast!
I had no idea any of these places in Mexico even existed. I’m so grateful to you guys for showing me all these new things. I hope to explore this pueblo mágico someday myself
This is better than most stuff on TV now. Go Laska!
My plan is to retire in Mexico. You guys are making my list of places to visit hella long.... love it!
I agree with this comment!
Sounds like a fellow teacher? Greetings 🖖🏻. Good plan my friend. Live life to the fullest.
@@oscarpicon7164 good thing I am a dual citizen!
@@oscarpicon7164 I AM a teacher and a small business owner. Just a few years left...hopefully :)
@@limitlesszenproductions865 greetings, Mark. I have 10 years left . Then I’m out! Best of life to you!
Taxco looks like a beautiful city. The highlight was Laska playing fútbol.
Maddie: It’s bigger than what I expected it to be
Jordan: that’s what she said
😂😂😂😂😂
savage jaajaj
I was in Taxco years ago. Santa Prisca is the most beautiful church I have ever seen.
Taxco
This was my favorite TT video yet! So much fun with the the beauty ofTaxco, Laska the soccer dog, and the proposal 😂
Guys 3:30 Juan Ruiz de Alarcón is one of the best dramaturges of the Spanish Golden Age of literature and he was born in Taxco. You should check out at least some of his poems too, to get a glimpse into Spanish Baroque literature. Baroque was a so influential in New Spain and the Spanish Empire, that it even permeated from the arts to food and even to Mexican courtesy and manners.
Thanks for that briefly culture
Laska playing futbol with the children was the BEST! And hearing the giggles and laughter while Laska demonstrated his skills was heartwarming ❤️
Its very lifeconfirming to see a younger couple take a plunge and then promote it. Keep it up. Best regards from Copenhagen Denmark.
I am a fan of the longer videos.
"this pozole is healing my childhood traumas" love it! I need some! love when you guys have a few drinks thank you for all the great content!
Taxco is one of the coolest looking cities in Mexico. I thought you guys had only been there already or I would have recommended it. Asdf, I hope the Pueblo Magico program doesn't end up ruining these towns.
No, no solo es la arquitectura o la historia del pueblo también tiene que ver con un índice de crimen muy bajo y en cualquier momento pueden perder su título de pueblo mágico.
Taxco was called Real del Taxco, and later changed the name to honor Juan Ruiz de Alarcón, a famous author born there
Omg!! I love when people visit my hometown. I hope you all enjoyed it!
No only yours!!! Mine too😋🌻😎🌼🤓😁🌺🌸
I love when people also
Forget
Native language from their own town
✌️🤣 muy muy...
@@yosoyperez-ley2096 Mi comentario fue para los creadores del video. Los culés hablaron inglés la mayor parte del tiempo. Ni uno de los dos idiomas me fallan.
Now i want pozole verde!!!! Thanks for helping out that elderly man :)
They are very kind for sure.
my parents are from guerrero so ppl from guerrero make the best pozole. my mom gave me the secret recipe
What was place where the wonderful pozole is?
touched my heart
It's definitely a pueblo mágico!
There was SO much magic crammed into this little town 😍
About 52 years ago I went to Mexico with my aunt. I remember being in Taxco but not what it was like. Looks great!
I loved seing Laska playing with the kids! It is my dream to visit every pueblo Mágico in México. Taxco is definitely top of my list. Saludos desde Sonora!
Absolutely beautiful town!
tienen un gran corazón por ayudar a las personas mas necesitadas y recuerden que todo lo bueno se les regresa el doble .
Hoping to explore more of Mexico in the near future, until then, I am living vicariously through the Tangerines. 🧡 🍊
Welcome
Wow! I am so impressed by your Spanish! You guys sound like fluent speakers now!
22:24 lmao that was a really slick "gong that bell"
Cuando vas a subir videos mas seguido??
Had to give Laska a bit more screen time! 😆
And Jordan, we are waiting for the actual proposal. No pressure lol. 😁
Reading your comment now (SEP '21) is kinda sad. 😔
@@umijudithbey6716 omg I know!!😥😥. I was waiting for them to get married. They seemed so compatible...
@@Shazzyhtown yeah, you and 1000s of other "Tangerineys." 😉
I just found Jordan's solo video about a month ago regarding his life in Mexico. Then, I saw Why we broke up. It was like walking into a room with an elephant: Oh! ... Wow... Sorry to hear. 😑 I can understand their fans' reactions. I hope they continue to work together. They're cute. 😍
I just landed in Mexico City today, was going to take a day tour to Taxco, I heard Puebla was pretty close down, Puebla was my first choice
What did you end up doing? I'm in Puebla right now
@@icedclips725 It was a guided tour. Unfortunaetly we didnt have a lot of time since the 1st part of the day was at the caves. We went to the main square, than walked up to this rooftop restaurant. It was such an experience just walking along the narrow streets!
Take the cable car through the town as well!
@@icedclips725 Puebla was one of my options for a day trip. I was told at the time most of the stuff was closed due to covid. So I choose Taxco instead.
@@kaylaschregardus4062 oh cool sounds fun. I'm looking to spend a month or more here in Mexico. Language barrier is the biggest obstacle for me right now.
@@icedclips725 I dream of spending a month as well! Sounds like me, my biggest obstacle was language!! I did NOT learn enough language when I went to mexico city! In a month I want to see: San Miguel de Allende, Oxaca, and Merida, mexico city again and puerto vallarta again. IM working hard right now to be freelance. Hopefully I can go by winter!
Maddie looks very radiant and Jordan looks nice as always. Have good time.
Nice video, you always present Mexico cities well, and I also was wondering about when Jordan said 'proposal', Maddie's thoughts made me smile.
My Taxco de Alarcón... how much I miss thee
Laughed my socks off at Alaska walking back home after playing football. Who was walking who Jordan?!?!😂😂😂 Loved it!
"Laska"
@@DoJoPe Yes thank you, I am aware how to spell LASKA, it was typed correctly, but autocorrect took over!
Would love to visit Taxco one day! ¡Viva México! 🇲🇽
OMGosh what a fun show guys! Taxco looks amazing! Maddie, you look so fab, healthy & happy! Both of you really, I adore Jordan's appreciation of beautiful butterflies, etc. Kisses to Laska, XO, Kelly
I've watched this twice. This place is going on my bucket list.
What you did for the old man shows your good heart. Humanity lives. Thanks
Wow! What a beautiful location. Lots of old world Mexico charm!!
I was in Taxco about 16 years ago, but just for a day trip. I am so jealous of your pozole experience! I love, love, LOVE pozole!
Good morning! So happy you visited Taxco. I really enjoyed my trip there. The molé rosa & chivo tacos were delish ❤🇲🇽
Thank you for giving back especially to the elderly in Mexico 😊❤❤💋 love you guys!
Best video of the week award! Couldn’t love this more...
We have been subscribed for a while and this by far has been your best video yet ! Great sights, quality camera work, great pictures and sound quality and you really captured what it like to be in Taxco. Nice to see your channel continues to evolve and get better with every new video. Awesome 😎
Great job. I was 8 or 9 years old when my parents took us to Taxco and I don't remember the hills at all. I remember the Cathedral, built over a silver mine. Thanks for brining back some memories from over 60 years ago! I couldn't walk up those inclined streets if you gave me a million dollars! Now I am going to look for my mother's Pozole recipe! Buen provecho!
So... fun fact, and word, the style is actually called "churrigueresco"( i will love to seeyou try that) which is a baroque variant present in México, it's described as baroque but more ornamental. I find it very fitting and describing of Mexico's idiosyncrasy.
How interesting! Thanks for sharing :)
Also know as Mexican Baroque
OK - this is one of your best videos. I'm a beach person and that place looked amazing. Thank you.
Taxco looks so interesting. I definitely add to places to visit in Mexico.
I love that you guys love good food. I also love that you love cocktails and mezcal.
That was awesome to see the statue above Taxco & the view. You feel like your on top of the world !
We really did!
Aww laska playing futbol I love it
We were ALL SMILES in the moment and watching that part later.😍 Pure happiness!
Wow I love to see that town in a rain season
I'd not heard of Taxco until I saw this today! I LOVE Mexico! You guys are so awesome and I just love watching your channel!! Thanks so much for sharing!!
My husband and I were watching your video and when the segment came on with the Pozole Verde, we were both 🤤🤤
My husband and I love watching you guys you always do an awesome job , you seriously got us interested in loving to Mexico , stay safe keep up the good work and God bless you
This place looks absolutely magical! Love the vibe here. Sorry we missed this one
My wife and I love watching you guys!
Me encanta Taxco he ido muchas veces y quiero volver a probar ese pozole
In summer of 1967 my family (parents and five children ages 16 to 6) traveled throughout Mexico in a station wagon. Taxco was one of our stops. I bought the butterfly ring.
That trip took four weeks.
What state did you drive from in the U.S. (I'm assuming you guys drove from the U.S.)
ilovemytribe
McAllen, Texas (30 minutes from the Mexico border)
@@sharimoore55 Wow! I wonder how that trip would be now days. I would like to go to Mexico, and have thought about driving or camper or something so that I wouldn't have to deal with hotels etc.
I’m leaving to Taxco this Saturday, I’m so excited!
RIP sweet Tom. Remembering our time in Taxco so many years ago. You live in my heart. ❤️
Well..you've done it again. Taxco looks wonderful and the pictures and tour make us know that this little beauty will surely be on our list of places to visit, as soon as we get vaccinated....thanks again, good job.
Saludos mis amigos
Waoooooo you are awesome guyssss
Enjoy my country
Dios los bendiga mucho
Nice video
aww Laska is so adorable playing soccer
Your Spanish is getting SO GOOD. Well, at least it seems it is to me. You were able to chat with the cabbie with noooo problem.
Wow Taxco looks amazing! Thanks for showing us this beautiful city. I was laughing out loud when Laska was playing soccer, I could of watched that for hours.
I almost starting cheering up when I heard “I have a proposal” you can’t be playing with our feelings Jordan! - love your videos!!
You have the best heart Maddie. Your interaction with the elderly gentleman reminded me of one I had in Antigua, Guatemala. On a private walking tour there, 3 of us, bought scarves from a lovely elderly women. My guide shooed her away from us, at first, but, like you, colorful things catch my eye. I am certain she caught my gaze at her goods, so approached me. I made the guide stop I was so enchanted by her and her handwoven scarves. I bought 3.
A magical week in a magical town! You genuinely seemed so happy here, but it could have been the Mescal talking, lol! I always knew this was a beautiful place, like Guanajuato, but this seems better than GTO
You are having way too much fun, I just love armchair travelling with you!
One of the most amazing places in Mexico. Too bad you won't be there on Thursday, April 1 for Maunday Thursday during Holy Week. Taxco has some traditions that are incredible! Thanks for the wonderful video!
CUÍDENSE MICHO Y DISFRUTEN , HERMOSOS MIS NIÑOS

Al fin tenemos un buen presidente en Mexico que nos lleva por un buen camino , no tiene nada de malo seguirse cuidando .

I'm so happy watching this video!, I'm from Mexico City living now in Vancouver, and when I was in Mx, it was some period whenI used to go every 2 weeks to Taxco during the weekends, I was buying a lot of silver stuffs and enjoying so much just spend the time there!, is defenetely one of my favorite towns in Mexico,the artesania is unique as you can see, I love Taxco! is affordable, AMAZING, romantic, yummy, BREATHTAKING!, It's too bad that the church is closed!!! inside is OMG!!! I agreed that also is one of my favorite churches !!! Guys you definitely must consider to move to CDMX or Cuernavaca for some time, is SO MUCH to explore there!! Enjoy it! and a hug for Laska! :)
I have been obsessively watching Taxco UA-cam videos, since the start of the pandemic in 2020.
This is by far my favorite one. My favorite new Taxco video!
You feature so many cool things that I hadn't seen yet! I watched it q couple hrs after you posted it, and had my husband and daughter watch it this morning. We now have another must on our México trip, when we finally go!
Thank you for the wonderful experience! Sigan compartiendo el hermoso contenido, que nosotros tanto disfrutamos! Saludos a Laska futbolista! ❤
Esta pareja demuestra el verdadero Mexico. Thank you guys for showing the real Mexico to the world. I was surprised you both drink MEZCAL, good choice. And yes, POZOLE is food for the Gods. Excellent work. GRACIAS.
19:04 aww!! Thanks Maddie you’re so sweet 🙏 💗 God blessed you!
Watching here from Canada. Cant wait to visit Taxco on May. My Bf is from there. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Laska playing futbol! Love it!
Beautiful town. Maddie you look prettier every day. Saludos Jordan. Nice video.
Loved Taxco, loved the food from Guerrero!
I'm already craving that pozole verde again 🤤
I loved seeing a low key culture place!! It makes me wanna visit and have Mexcal and ride the taxco! You did an amazing job showing us around....thx
I spent just 3 days and it was truly breathtaking! Thanks for the video.
Hiya Tangerinies!. .I've been watching for over a year and want to share that Jordan: you have become so much more comfortable in front of the camera. Maddie, you have always been comfy, which makes all your vlogs fun to watch. Travel safe amigos!
Head over to my pueblo to gong that Bell! I'ma sure they will let you do that. My father does it for them all the time. It's San Andres de los gama. Municipio de temascaltepec un estado de México. Big hug to you both from Costa Rica.
The silver can be overwhelming - I finally went into a very small shop just to not have so many choices. Now I want to wear the earrings I got 15 years ago! I also remember having a delicious meal (some kind of caldo) in a hotel restaurant with an amazing view. You did a great job showcasing the town!
The white wash gives the town a clean crisp look. I love your hat Maddie. I enjoyed seeing the vendors' hats with the beautiful flowers on them. I really enjoyed going into the market seeing all the beautiful ornaments in jewelry. The bird & dolphins were unique in materials used to make them. Just beautiful! Love Jordan's new shirt too! Loved seeing Laska, & how cute she was playing soccer with the kids. I loved seeing the Jesus statue, & looking back down on the city. Such a peaceful feeling it omits. The Church is beautiful. Would have liked to have seen inside it. Was good to see you both, I really enjoy your video. Have a nice week.
I love staying in the old places and enjoying the architecture. Taxco has moved way up on my list of places to see.
Looks amazing! I love pozole too!!
Great video! Beautiful Pueblo Magico!
Thanks for your trip around Taxco. We were there long long ago on a trip to Mexico City, Cuernavaca, Taxco and Acapulco. It was our first foreign vacation and we fell in love with Taxco and the Cathedral. There was a local lady making tortillas over a charcoal grill. Gorgeous in the evening.
I love your stressing driving experience. Its kind of entertaining when you start to complain about the pot holes, cars, etc. I would like that in future vids. Great vid tangerines.
Absolutely loved this video, I felt like I was there with you! The hills would have done me in!
Guys you’re the true Mexicans. You know more about Mexico than I’ll ever dream to know.
Awesome! Taxco is so beautiful!
It really is 😍
@@TangerineTravels I really love your Air B&B. Can you tell me the name or contact info?
Many other areas of Mexico do offer oregano for the posole. I am in Zacatecas.
Such a beautiful and picturesque pueblito!
Que agradable que visiten nuestro pueblo y que les haya gustado. Soy orgullosamente Taxqueña y me apena que en el caso del taxista les haya cobrado de mas, irse en combi hubiera sido mas económico y con mayor aventura. Nota: las pepitas de calabaza no se le ponen al pozole son para botanear y comer mientras esperas te sirvan el platillo o para comer después y comerlas mientras platicas. En esa pozoleria atienden, jueves, y domingos. Ojala en otra ocasión puedan regresar y disfrutar nuevamente.
those birds always singing during the day time
Jordan when you said "proposal" for just a second there I thought......this is it! Love you guys. Never miss your videos. Go Team Laska!
I was in Taxco in the 80's. I thought at the time that it was such a romantic town. We visited a store to talk about how silver jewelry is made there. I studied Spanish in Cuernavaca, another beautiful city.
I stayed in the same Airbnb except my place was the one with the large private terrace closest to the center with a view to the cathedral. I was there for more than a month. I never got bored in the city.Something I don’t think you mentioned was an American named William Spratling kind of restarted the silver trade in taxco. He moved there and started making jewelry and interesting things out of the silver which then turned the town into a center for artistic silver work. The place you stayed was owned by him. The woman who runs and owns the place you stayed is the daughter of a friend of Spratling. He ended up buying a ranch outside of Taxco well as all the buildings where you were so in a way you were in a cultural center of the town without even knowing it perhaps.
For me I think the coolest and cutest thing is when your walking through town and those little streets (back allies ) that have little shops you don't really find stuff like that in the US it's just big city and one big street that sells stuff I so like the uniqueness and art of it all it makes it extra special to spend the day walking around
