Welcome to Cuernavaca Mexico

Due to the magic and culture experienced here since very ancient times, Cuernavaca makes an exceptional destination for travelers. The city is highly recommended for those who enjoy admiring and exploring the flora and fauna, natural beauty and archeological sites, as well as itsattractive city plazas and colonial buildings full of history. Without a doubt, year round spring-like weather, natural attractions and its proximity to Mexico City make Cuernavaca a great place to be visited by both national and international travelers.
Cuernavaca is the capital city of the state of Morelos and is known as the "city of the eternal spring", mainly because of the agreeable weather lasting all year round. Due to its proximity to Mexico City, Cuernavaca is considered an excellent place for a weekend getaway, by the people of the nations' capital. Apparently, this "weekend exodus" is not new at all, since there was a strong tradition of this, from the time when the ancient Aztecs ruled the center of Mexico. The Aztec Emperors were carried on their thrones from the center of Mexico City (or "Tenochtitlan" as it was known during those days) to the area we now know as Cuernavaca.

The land on which the city stands is truly beautiful, a hilly region with picturesque cobbled streets and surrounded by many lakes and forests. The city is well located and provides easy access with Mexico City, Acapulco, Taxco and Toluca. For this reason, it is not difficult to comprehend why Cuernavaca has become an important area, attracting tourists for eco-tourism, as well as the more mainstream tourist activities. All forms of tourism are, however, important factors in helping drive the economy of the region.
