Our Trip To Mexico

We shopped in Cuernavaca the very first day at our favorite tianguis (crafts booth) with Isabel Camacho. Her family’s beadwork is incredible! Next, to Taxco for silver, bobblies, and many other crafts from the state of Guerrero. Last, we went to the mystical town of Tepoztlan, where bamboo instruments are part of the incredible crafts (and food) markets. On the way home, a lovely view of Popo from the airplane window.

Marketplace delights

There is never a lack of color or symmetry in the presentation of crafts in a Mexican marketplace.

Taxco – silver and more

Native masks adorn the facade of one of Taxco’s famous shops. Taxco is also the home of the primary silver market where most of Arte Mexico’s silver is mined and crafted. An amazing jewel of a city, built on the side of a mountain in the state of Guerrero, between Mexico City and Acapulco.

Teotihuacan

The Pyramid of the Sun is a dramatic reminder of the power and grace of this pre-Aztec civilization. Located NE of Mexico City, the 270 steps to the top are worth the climb, offering a spectacular view of the valley below.

Mexico Hermoso

Flying into Mexico City, if you are lucky enough to be on the East side of the plane and it’s a clear day, you get your first glimpse of the famous “smoking mountain” Popocatepl. Imposing, dangerous and incredibly beautiful.
