When his adventuring days were over, Cortés chose to retire in Cuernavaca. The silver barons of the colonial era also built homes here. Even Emperor Maximilian and  his wife, Carlota, had a local weekend hideaway.

Today Cuernavaca has a resident population of more than a million people. Many wealthy  Mexico City residents have their second home here, and they escape the  congestion of the city for the weekend relaxation of Cuernavaca. Vacationers who like to take advantage of the spas also come here to heal and rejuvenate.  This is also a growing colony of retired Americans.

Cuernavaca is then well equiped to attend all domestic and foreign tourists. Moreover, Cuernavaca offers a nice variety of beautiful Hotels for any budget.
