With a reputation for being the "City of Eternal Spring" Cuernavaca (altitude 1542 meters/5000 feet) has a mild and pleasant climate and superb sub-tropical gardens. A hill city out of the valley of Mexico we mostly have beautiful warm, sunny days, and cooler nights. It gets hotter (though never uncomfortably so) in late spring, before the rainy season commences. Even the rainy season is Camelot-like; mostly raining after sunset and clearing by dawn.
