Cuernavaca is the capital city of the state of Morelos in Mexico. It is also the capital of the Municipality of Cuernavaca. It is known as "The city of eternal spring" because of its consistent 27°C year-round weather. This city has always been the vacation destination for the people from the Mexico city valley, from the Aztec kings, to the Spaniards and now the rich and famous.
This condition has added historical value to the city. Here you can find examples of ancient Aztec and Teotihuacan cultures and of colonial buildings such as the Palacio de Cortés. Cuernavaca has historical sites from the Revolution, workshops of important artists, and more.
The city has a number of language schools and has, for more than 25 years, been hosting visitors from around the world for the learning of the Spanish language.

Morelos, Mexico's smallest state after Tlaxcala, is bordered on the north by the Distrito Federal (Federal District) and the Estado de México, on the west also by the Estado de México and by Guerrero, and on the south-east by Puebla.
During the Mexican Revolution (1910-20) Morelos was the scene of the peasants' uprising led by Emiliano Zapata who managed to keep parts of the state under his control until he was murdered in an ambush near Cuautla in 1919.
Morelos is primarily a flourishing agricultural region, mainly producing sugar, rice, maize, coffee, wheat, fruit and vegetables.
