Answer 2

Cuernavaca is the capital and largest city of the state of Morelos in Mexico. It is the municipal seat of the municipality of Cuernavaca. The city had a population of 332,197 and the municipality 349,102 as of the 2005 census. The municipality has an area of 151.2 km² (58.38 sq mi) and includes numerous small localities outside the city.

Cuernavaca is located about 85 km. (50 miles) south of Mexico City on the M-95 freeway. It is known as "the city of eternal spring" because of its consistent 27 °C year-round weather. Cuernavaca is truly in the heart of Mexico, and is surrounded by some of the most beautiful and culturally rich regions of the country.

The city's name comes from Nahuatl Cuauhnāhuac "place near trees" (IPA: [kʷawˈnaːwak]), the name of the pre-Columbian altepetl at the location. The name was altered to Cuernavaca by influence of the Spanish words cuerno "horn" and vaca "cow".


Cuernavaca has always been a popular vacation destination for people from the Mexico City valley, from the Aztec kings, to the Spaniards and now the wealthy. The opportunity for interesting side trips are many, all being within only a couple of hours drive, at most, from the capital. Many sights, from populous Mexico City to 18,000 feet volcanoes, are a short distance from the heart of the city.

Cuernavaca is a favorite spot for its historical richness, striking scenery, colorful life, and delightful climate. The terrain is hilly and the streets are narrow and quaint. A wide variety of activities are available with all of the normal services of a modern city. The city's bus system is economical and easy to use. This condition has added historical value to the city. The city has examples of ancient Aztec and Tlahuica cultures and of colonial buildings such as the Palacio de Cortés. Cuernavaca has historical sites from the Revolution, workshops of important artists, and more. Unfortunately, however, a rapidly-increasing population in the last couple of decades and a hugely-increased volume of traffic on the city's streets have brought problems of severe congestion and air contamination to large parts of the municipality.

The city has a number of language schools and has, for more than 25 years, been hosting visitors from around the world who want to learn Spanish.

Bus destinations from Cuernavaca include very regular services to Mexico City (1.5 hours) as well as services to Toluca, Puebla, Tepoztlan, Taxco, Acapulco and destinations throughout Morelos.
