Location

Cuernavaca is in the state of Morelos, southwest of Mexico City, at a drive of about an hour and a half. To reach the city you cross mountains called the Ajusco, part of the Sierra Madre range. You then descend to Cuernavaca, located at 5,000 above sea level.

Climate

The nickname is City of Eternal Spring, as the temperature is nearly perfect year round. It’s best described by the fact that houses have no central heating or air conditioning. They simply are not necessary.

Personality

Cuernavaca is in essence an overgrown resort town. Since days of the Pre/Conquest it has been considered a perfect place to escape for relaxation and some tranquillity. Many Mexico City residents have weekend homes here, and there is also a sizeable colony of retired foreigners. It is typical of the Mexican tradition to have much of its beauty hidden behind walls, often with vibrant bougainvillea.

The city offers a wide range of garden restaurants, nightclubs, cultural events and sport activities.

Spanish LANGUAGE Institute includes a comfortable and attractive conference rooms, small group classrooms, a swimming pool, free internet, and a cafeteria. It is a beautiful place to spend your day.

Many Mexico City homeowners moved here permanently after the earthquake of 1985 and industrial plants have also arrived.
