was not our intention to stay so long, but the city was totally worthwhile.
After asking the cost per night for several hotels in the downtown, we decided on the Juárez Hotel, located at Av Nezahualcoyotl, almost opposite the Robert Brady Museum, a very central location (a behind cathedral), with a small pool that fulfills its function and most of the rooms are spacious and clean, has a television (but do not have cable) and hot water. A perfect place if you want to pasártela traveling the state of Morelos, rather than go to lock in a hotel.

Reccorrido
Cathedral. The building is impressive and dates from the time of conquest, one of the oldest churches (1526). Throughout its history, you were adding chapels around, each with its own architectural style, which gives a touch of originality. The walls are beautiful, as they have been deteriorating with the moisture that permeates everything in Morelos. (Catedral de Cuernavaca)
City Museum (Av. Morelos # 278, next to the cathedral). Has temporary exhibitions, entry is free and runs in 15 minutes.
(Lago Jardín Borda)
Borda Garden. (Av. Morelos # 271). It was the vacation home of Maximilian and Carlota. It has exhibition halls, lakes (one of which can paddle), an exquisite botanical garden (for those who like herbalists), sources, spaces for workshops and an auditorium. An ideal place to relax and walk around while contemplating nature so characteristic Cuernavaca. The entrance fee and Sunday is free admission.

Tepoztlan. The best way to get to Tepoztlan (if not brought car) is transport urban public, which goes on Avenida Morelos and charges 16 pesos per person. In approximately one hour in an atmosphere will be totally different: a lot fresher, because it's surrounded by green mountains. The bus leaves you about three blocks from the town center and easy walking. There is a square, the market, the cathedral, the arc (made with seeds) and see the bottom of the hill Tepozteco. You can not go and let you upload it, is 2 km and 250 meters long that are well worth it: beautiful scenery, latent humidity, fresh air, exotic insects and lots of sweat. Recommended to bring water, tennis and an umbrella (for what you never know when it will rain). At the top you will find a pyramid and a panoramic view of the city. The cost to enter is 35 dollars and if you want to take video is 45 pesos. Getting off by the cobbled streets are several stalls selling souvenirs . Recommended buy honey and eat either grilled chicken or quesadillas accompanied by a cold beer. You can return by bus or taxi will charge about 150 pesos.
Haymarket Square. After the hike, is well deserved a bit of fun spiritual bars Haymarket Square in Cuernavaca is the choice. There are all kinds, with mariachi music, rock, cumbia, kareoke, food and very cheap, almost all have 2 for 1 drinks and go to 35 pesos AVERAGE Now for the two. There NorthAmerican street to whom you can buy snacks.
(Palacio de Cortés)
night Center. Lighting with the City and the Palace of Cortés (oldest building in Latin America, in which he lived Hernán Cortés and is built on archaeological remains) are more than vistozos. One can sit and eat an ear while admiring the play of light.
(Teopanzolco)
Travel to Teopanzolco . Opposite the Palace of Cortés turibus depart with five different types of tours. Lasts 1 to 2 hours at a cost of 45 pesos. We decided to take the tour that took us to the ruins of Teopanzolco-Nahuatl word meaning "old temple" -. The person in charge of the trail is quite pleasant and explains the historical sites of Cuernavaca. The pyramids are the best preserved in Mexico because they were covered for long time, but I leave the explanation for the tour.
Xochicalco . Pullman Buses have outputs only from 9:30 am for 38 pesos, but as we arrived late and we went by taxi charged us 200 pesos. Xochicalco is in the middle of nowhere, so it is advisable to take from cuernavaca water, sunscreen, hat, and, if possible, insect repellent, as there are many mosquitoes. The entrance fee is 51 pesos (students and teachers are exempt), and with the same ticket you enter the museum site, where you explain the culture Xochicalco. (After I upload the pictures)
Robert Brady Museum . In this exposed the personal collection of the American character. The house is beautiful and each room is decorated exhibit both muesbles and paintings by Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, and crafts from around the world. The terrace is ideal for coffee. The recommendation is the cappuccino. It costs 35 pesos, students and teachers exempt from payment. (After I upload the pictures)
crafts market. It's nothing special, but are souvenirs cheaper than in established stores. We buy chinelos that are representative the State of Morelos. A tip: in one of the top posts vente ice cubes (pens, frozen) to 8 pesos natural fruit, riquísmos.
could not know everything that hubiérmos wanted, but for four days seemed more than enough. Is it safe to go back to the warm weather and rain even with its friendly people, but by the same weather city of "eternal spring" bee abundance and persecute you, but the locals are now more accustomed to dealing with them.
