Cuernavaca, Capital city in Morelos, Mexico
Located 65 kilometers south of Mexico City, Cuernavaca extends across a valley at 1,510 meters elevation with a population of 341,029 inhabitants.
The Aztec settlement of Cuauhnahuac transformed into Cuernavaca after the Spanish conquest in 1521, when Hernán Cortés established his residence and agricultural estates.
The Palace of Cortés, constructed in 1535, exhibits Diego Rivera murals that detail the complete history of Morelos state through indigenous and colonial periods.
The central district contains numerous Spanish language schools, making it a primary destination for international students seeking immersion education programs.
Alexander von Humboldt named Cuernavaca the City of Eternal Spring due to its year-round temperatures between 20-30 degrees Celsius.
