Arturo Galindo is reliable and an excellent cautious driver. He took me from Cuernavaca to the Mexico City airport. His car is in excellent condition and is very clean. He puts special effort into cleaning because of the coronavirus problems. He is very fluent in English and has very reasonable fees. He is also willing to pick up arriving passengers at the MEX airport. He enjoys conversations with his passengers, however, when I wanted to do some work on the way to the airport he gave me all the quiet time I wanted during the trip. I recommend him very highly.
2. Palacio de Cortes

4.5 based on 618 reviews
On September 19, 2017, a powerful earthquake rocked the region and damaged the building's clock, which has since been removed. At the time of writing the Palacio was to remain closed to the public for at least a year, for damage assessment and reparations. Check ahead to ensure that it is open again, or simply enjoy the building's facade. This 16th-century fort once served as the palace and home of Hernán Cortés and includes a collection of Diego Rivera murals. TEMPORARILY CLOSE FOR RENOVATION

Due to the earthquake, quite a bit has changed in Cuernavaca including being able to visit Palacio De Cortex. Best viewed from outside!

Xochicalco was the oldest known fortress in Middle America and an important religious center.
Reviewed By ramonmp53 - Cuernavaca, Mexico
After visiting over the years many archaeological sites of different cultures in Mexico, it's always a pleasure to return to Xochicalco (pronounced 'Sotchycalco') located about half an hour's drive south of the city of Cuernavaca, in the State of Morelos. What makes this site quite unique among others is its location on a large hill that overlooks an open valley where the hill itself is an integral part of the archaelogical site. There are a number of platforms distributed at different levels of the hill that hold either a ceremonial center, the remains of living quarters, or the ancient ball courts. At the top is the temple dedicated to Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent, with bas-reliefs sculptured on all four walls of the ceremonial center. It's fun to climb the various wide staircases leading from one level to another, stop at each and enjoy the view of varying landscapes, which may include trees, agaves, and other assorted greenery. You can descend the archeological zone from the opposite side you entered, so there's no need to backtrack on your visit. Xochicalco reached its heigth around 1,000 AD when the Toltecs were the dominant culture in Mexico's central valley, although it would be a far-out generalization to name the city-state's inhabitants 'Toltecs'. They were skilled merchants and traded with distant civilizations in all cardinal directions, including the Mayans in the now far away Yucatan, the Zapotecs and Mixtecs to the south in the present State of Oaxaca, as well as the various cultures in the central valley of Mexico (now Mexico City) or the Gulf Coast. To start your visit of Xochicalco, don't miss the not-too-long exhibits, maps, and explanations in the welcoming pavilion at the entrance to the archaeological zone. It will make your visit that much more rewarding. Enjoy!

5. Jardines de Mexico

4.5 based on 537 reviews
Jardines de Mexico, the largest floral park in the world. Its essence resides in the contemplation of the beauty in each thematic garden, in enjoying of the architecture that coexists in harmony with the natural elements. ¡Let yourself live a naturally magic experience!
Reviewed By Ecuabuckeye - Quito, Ecuador
We visited Jardine de Mexico last week. I was there before it was officially opened with a plant supplier and wanted to return with my wife. The plants have matured and the grounds are very well maintained. It is very interesting to see the different garden types such as Japanese and Italian planted in an area that is practically a desert. Since I work in floriculture, my only negative observation which is personal is that most plants are not labelled. In many ways the location is more of landscape horticulture than a typical botanical garden. It is well worth the visit.

If you (and your kids) need a nearby green getaway, this is the place. The park had trails, rivers, play equipment as well as an aviary and a butterfly garden. You can rent a pedal boat at the lake, take a little train ride or just walk to your heart’s content. We went on a Saturday and we’re lucky enough to find the Mercado Verde, or the healthy green market with lots of vendors selling food and goods. You won’t find many tourists here as it is I’ve been removed from the colonial core of Cuernavaca. But it’s a cheap taxi or Uber ride and definitely worth a visit if you have a bit of spare time.

We went to Zoofari as a COVID friendly experience since you can be in the car all the time. This was excellent. We had a lot of fun and seeing all the animals and feeding them is great for kids. Our car unfortunately broke down during our trip and the staff at Zoofari were not only helpful but also went above and beyond for us to be able to still enjoy our experience there. They help us try to jump start the car, they took us to other parts of the zoo so my nephew would not get restless and they were so professional and helpful with the best attitude. A special thanks to Mr. Luis Carrillo who made sure we were ok at all times. Thank you zoofari. We will be back to finish enjoying everything!

Only hopping at full throttle on the weekend, this is a classic multipurpose market. Families shopping for food and household supplies, and visitors exploring, this is a great place to see the full range of Mexican life. Lots of stands selling standard souvenirs. Around the edges are some more selective stores. Fresh fruit, pastries and lots of tortillas for sale too. Fruit was wonderful.
