Cuernavaca is the capital city of the state of Morelos in Mexico. The city is also the municipal seat of the municipality of Cuernavaca.
Cuernavaca is known as "the city of eternal spring" because of its consistent 27°C year-round weather.
This city has always been a popular vacation destination for people from the Mexico City valley, from the Aztec kings, to the Spaniards and now the rich and famous.
This condition has added historical value to the city.
Here you can find examples of ancient Aztec and Teotihuacano cultures and of colonial buildings such as the Palacio de Cortés .
Cuernavaca has historical sites from the Revolution, workshops of important artists, and more.
The city has a number of language schools and has, for more than 25 years, been hosting visitors from around the world for the learning of the Spanish language.
In literature
Albeit somewhat disguised, Cuernavaca is the setting for Malcolm Lowry's harrowing novel of alcohol-induced self-destruction, Under the Volcano.
