The city is located about 85 km (53 mi) south of Mexico City. The city was nicknamed the “City of Eternal Spring” by Alexander von Humboldt in the nineteenth century. It has long been a favorite escape for Mexico City and foreign visitors because of its warm, stable climate and abundant vegetation. Aztec emperors had summer residences here, considering its location of just 1 hour drive from Mexico City and ideal location, Cuernavaca traditionally has been a center of Mexican society and glamor, with many of the country’s wealthiest citizens owning sprawling mansions and haciendas in this cultural haven. Cuernavaca is also host to a large foreign resident population, including large numbers of students who come to study the Spanish language. “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” – St. Augustine www.uninter.edu.mx Palacio de Cortez, Cuernavaca Morelos.
