Cuernavaca Information

About an hour and a half south of Mexico City lies Cuernavaca, the largest city in the Mexican state of Morelos. It was originally established by the Olmec people nearly 3,200 years ago. The name itself is derived from a Nahuatl phrase meaning surrounded by trees and was nicknamed the “city of eternal spring” because of its semi-tropical climate. Explore the rich history, gorgeous parks, and gardens of Cuernavaca and enjoy the near-perfect temperatures during your stay.

The Borda Garden Cultural Center is a great place to start your vacation. It was once the site of the riches families in the city, and its prime location is a testament to that. It’s located next to the Cathedral of Cuernavaca, built in the early 16th century. The Center features beautiful sculptures, exquisite plant life, and well-manicured gardens. Stroll through the historic grounds and check out the rotating exhibits the center offers. This is a good place to come for a walk and spend a few hours away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Head to the Palace of Cortés and experience the residence of former conquistador Hernán Cortés. The imposing building is of gothic mudejar design and now features a museum that displays the local and regional history of the area. This massive museum boasts 19 halls filled with collections of objects, artifacts, and artwork from prehistoric and pre-Hispanic eras. The second floor of the museum hold a series of murals painted by the renowned Diego Rivera. You don’t want to pass up this attraction while you’re visiting Cuernavaca. Located right outside of town and easy to reach, the Archeological Zone of Xochicalco Cuernavaca features ruins that once served as very important meeting grounds for ancient civilizations. A guided tour is recommended to learn about the history of the ruins, but a self-guided tour is a possibility if you’re interested in exploring the grounds on your own.

Mexico City is an easy, hour and a half drive from Cuernavaca, and it’s an excellent place for a day trip. As the capital of Mexico, Mexico City certainly has plenty for visitors to see and do. Head to Chapultepec and explore one of the largest city parks in the entire Western Hemisphere. Stroll through the historic city center of Mexico City, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, and people watch, grab a bite to eat, or explore the many statues and buildings that make this place so incredible. Don’t miss the National Palace which houses the offices of the President of Mexico. The Zócalo is the common name for the central portion of Mexico City, and it’s where you’ll find all the action throughout the day and well into the night.
