Travel Tree City/State: Cuernavaca, Mexico Country: MEXICO (Cuernavaca) Study Abroad Cuernavaca, Mexico REQUEST MORE INFORMATION »» Worlds Best Language Schools 57 Carruthers St Ilam Canterbury NEW ZEALAND www.worldsbestlanguageschools.com Program description: Travellers find Cuernavaca a special place. Their enthusiasm is the result not of any special work of nature nor of any monument of man. No single attraction is particularly spectacular. But the felicitous combination of people, place, and climate imparts a special feeling, like the warm hug of a loved one. To those who take the time to reach out to it, Cuernavaca returns a warm Mexican abrazo , a welcome embrace that says “Esta es su casa.” Cuernavaca is a resort city and capital of the state of Morelos 75 kilometers ( 50 miles ) south of Mexico City . Its near perfect climate has attracted vacationers since the days of the Aztec emperors. Today its narrow streets host a strange mix of local residents, Mexican vacationers, tour bus temporaries, foreign students, international jet-setters, and Hollywood stars. Filming conditions are so agreeable that the Valley of Morelos has become a favorite of the U.S. film industry. Cuernavaca is known internationally as the "City of Eternal Spring" boasting year round temperatures of 75 to 80 degrees F. Since Mexico City is only an hour away, students can take advantage of the many historical and cultural benefits of the capital without the inconveniences of the "big city ". Acapulco, one of the most famous tourist resorts in Mexico and in the world, is just 3 hours away. Cuernavaca was discovered by North American and European students attracted by the language schools specializing in teaching Spanish to foreigners. Such schools have proliferated in recent years making Cuernavaca perhaps the best place in the world to study Spanish.” From James J. Horn, CUERNAVACA , A GUIDE FOR STUDENTS & TOURISTS, 2004.
