The perfect blend of culture and outdoor adventure awaits travelers in Cuernavaca, Mexico. Just 86 km from Mexico City, this paradise of rest, in the State of Morelos, offers a multitude of historical and cultural resources, being quieter than the great metropolis of the north. In addition, guests of Cuernavaca hotels will have the opportunity to explore the rich natural resources of this region, including parks, canyons, rivers, and forests.

Explore the fascinating history of Mexico

With Hernán Cortés so famous, most travelers in Cuernavaca take a tour of its historic center, home to the former palace of the Spanish explorer who conquered the land that is now Mexico. Cortés built his palace in 1526. After his departure, in 1541, the imposing stone building became a prison. Later, it became home to government offices and can now be visited as a museum. The ground floor is dedicated to the exhibition of a collection of pre-Hispanic objects, while on the second floor a representation of the history of Mexico from the Spanish conquest to independence in 1810 is exhibited. The Diego Rivera mural on the balcony is a masterpiece not to be missed by visitors. Like many other colonial buildings, the city's palace and cathedral were built on the ruins of native temples. In addition, an open-air chapel in the Ascension Cathedral is associated with a sacrificial altar from Antiquity. The cathedral complex encompasses a number of cloisters and chapels, including the Baroque-era Third Order Chapel. Its façade presents a striking pink hue that contrasts with the rest of the cathedral, which was built at the beginning of the 16th century as part of a monastery, and therefore presents a more austere ornamentation. The Robert Brady Museum is also famous, whose name is given by an ex-patriot who decorated his house with pieces of art from all corners of the world. Currently, all these monuments are open to the public.

An outdoor adventure

You don't need to travel far from Cuernavaca hotels to enjoy the region's stunning natural beauty. In the immediate vicinity of the historic center is the Chapultepec Ecological Park, nestled along a winding river with waterfalls, stone arch bridges, and even crocodiles. Here, visitors can enjoy a lake for boating, an aviary, a serpentarium, and a plaza with food stalls.

 

All this makes this a perfect place for families to enjoy with the little ones. Turkeys and ducks roam free along the riverbank, which seems to have been woven from the roots of the majestic trees. Those looking for other outdoor activities can book an adventure tour that includes pick-up and drop-off services from the same hotels in Cuernavaca. Thus, the most complicated part of the trip would be reduced to deciding which excursion to take. The variety of options includes rappelling, kayaking, rafting, caving, and hiking.

 

Some popular destinations in Cuernavaca are the mountains of the Camino de la Luz, the Thousand Waterfalls and the underground streams of the Tepozteco mountain. In short, endless possibilities to capture snapshots and ensure that travelers keep precious memories of their vacations in Cuernavaca.
