Cuernavaca - Casa Olinda

Be sure to make the short journey (1.5km/1mi) south from the city centre to visit the Casa Olinda (also known as the Casa del Olvido) in the one-time village and now suburb of Alcapatzingo. The house, still enjoying a tranquil almost rural setting, was built by Emperor Maximilian as a pied-à-terre to be shared with "India Bonita", his Indian mistress. Today the park contains a herb museum (Museo de la Herbolaría).
