Ever since the Habsburg Emperor Maximilian built his summer residence in Cuernavaca, it has been a famous vacation place among Mexicans mainly for its warm climate throughout the year (average temperature of 20ºC/68ºF).

Today, Cuernavaca's "eternal spring"; it's parks and gardens resplendent with tropical plants and flowers; its charming town center or "Zocalo"  with colonial architecture still attract Mexicans and foreign tourists from all over the world. Due to it;s geographical position, Cuernavaca is also an ideal starting point for interesting trips in Central Mexico. With proximity to Mexico City, Puebla, Oaxaca, Guanajuato, the Mexican Riviera and many archeological sites, Cuernavaca is a great place to study Spanish and explore Mexico. Our weekend excursions will take you to many of these locations.

Among the important historical and architectural attractions are the 16th century Cathedral; the Hernán Cortés Palace with famous murals of Diego Rivera; the Borda gardens and the richly adorned Aztec temple Teopanzolco.

In the city center, the Zócalo mixes native and foreign visitors with street cafes, numerous restaurants and coffee houses allowing you to spend tranquil moments in the "centro".

Cuernavaca is a university town and the home of many artists and intellectuals and thus many cultural events have increasingly taken place in recent years: Poetry readings, concerts, ballet and theatre performances and art exhibitions. You can also enjoy the discoteques and music bars until the early hours of the morning.

Diverse sporting activities attract fans of tennis, golf, volleyball, squash, swimming and horseback riding.

Cuernavaca is a lively and stimulating town and an ideal place for all those who want to learn Spanish and experience the complete Mexican culture. We at Experiencia would like to help you accomplish these goals.
