How to get there
From Mexico City: by bus (about 1.5 hours) or car via the MEX 95
Cuernavaca, state capital of Morelos, lies barely an hour's drive south of Mexico City. Its mild subtropical climate, myriads of brightly- coloured flowers and city centre full of old colonial charm make it a popular place of escape for people from the capital, adding to the large proportion of its residents who are retired. Recently however, creeping industrialisation and ever greater numbers of visitors have tended to mar the city's once rather intimate atmosphere.
