It is known as “the city of eternal spring: because of its consistent 22°C weather year round. Cuernavaca sits in the heart of central Mexico, and is surrounded by some of the most beautiful and culturally rich regions of the country. Cuernavaca is appreciated for its historical richness, striking scenery, vibrant life, and delightful climate. Surrounded by undulating hills and cut by narrow, cobbled streets, Cuernavaca is a quaint colonial remnant.

This balance of ancient and new has protected the historical value of the city while offering modern amenities. Tourism is one of the driving forces in Cuernavaca.
