Spanish in Cuernavaca

Cuernavaca, the capital city of the state of Morelos, is located about 1.5 hours drive southwest of Mexico City. Reknown for its Spanish schools, scenery, and springlike climate, Cuernavaca is a major academic center for Spanish students from all over the globe!

The city is amazingly beautiful while rich in culture. A resort town, Cuernavaca has been thought of as a perfect place to enjoy tranquillity without the rush of a major city since the days of the Pre/Conquest. Many Mexico City residents have weekend homes in Cuernava, and there is a large group of retired foreigners who reside in this paradise.

The city was founded by the Aztecs but you can find remains of other ancient civilizations as well, such as the Olmeca, Mexica, and Tlahuica. By all means, do not miss a trip to the Palace of Hernan Cortes, the Cathedral (named Patrimony of Humankind by the United Nations) and other sites regarding the Mexican Revolution as well as Emiliano Zapata. You will discover numerous art galleries all over the city, while the archaeological sites of Xochicalco, Tepoztlan, and Teopanzolco are not to be missed!

Referred to as the "City of Eternal Springtime", the temperature is nearly perfect throughout the year meaning that houses have no central heating or air conditioning! Come to Cuernavaca and enjoy visiting and exploring a land of culture, and a paradise boasting hot springs, lakes, ecological reserves, archaeological sites, and much, much more!
