Cuernavaca, Mexico

Capital City

With a population of 338,650, Cuernavaca is a popular escape for Mexico City residents, but the city's warm, stable climate and abundant vegetation come with a price - a heavy bureaucratic burden that is a persistent headache for locals and foreigners alike. The city's reputation as a haven for the wealthy is well-earned, as Cuernavaca has long attracted royalty, nobles, and celebrities seeking its flowers, sun, and fresh-water springs. However, those seeking an uncomplicated life in the "City of Eternal Spring" may find the reality a bit more complicated.
