Discover Cuernavaca by Hire Car
The very tourist-friendly and lively city of Cuernavaca is the capital of the state of Morelos in Mexico.
This city of contrasts was already inhabited by the Aztecs, who actually gave it the name “Cuauhnahuac” (in Nahuatl it means “Near the Trees”), but today it exists under Cuernavaca.
Because Cuernavaca always has a pleasant climate due to its location, Alexander von Humboldt gave it the pet name “The City of Eternal Spring”.
Sights in Cuernavaca
In the center and the north of the city you will find a real mountainous landscape and the differences in altitude are sometimes more than 400 meters. The districts there are only connected by a few bridges.
But besides the beautiful landscape, Cuernavaca also has some sights like the Palacio Cortés, the archaeological site Teopanzolco, the Jardin Borda, the Katedrale Catedral de la Asunción de María or the pyramid Teopanzolco to offer.
Leisure activities in in Cuernavaca
Art lovers will get their money’s worth in the numerous museums. Since the difference between rich and poor is still clearly visible in the city and the taxi drivers speak mainly Spanish, a hire car is recommended for a sightseeing tour.
Curenavaca is now a magnet for many holidaymakers and language students in particular are offered plenty to do here. Some follow the traces and legacies of the Aztecs, others want to learn the Spanish language or are simply looking for rest and relaxation.
The city also lends itself to enjoying a cool drink in one of the cafés with a southern flair after studying.
