Morelos is one of the constituent states
of Mexico. Morelos has an area of about 4,941 square
kilometers (1,907.7 sq mi), making it the
second-smallest of the country's states. Morelos is
bordered by Mexico State to the north and west, Puebla
to the east, and Guerrero to the south. In the 2007
census, the population of the state was 1,612,899
people. The capital of Morelos is the city of
Cuernavaca. Morelos also contains the cities of Cuautla,
Jiutepec, and Temixco, and the pre-Columbian ruins of
Xochicalco. Morelos was named after José María Morelos,
one of the leaders of the Mexican War of Independence.
Morelos has always had great revolutionary activity, and
numerous guerrillas have made their homes and struggled
for justice in the region. Most notably, the small
farming hamlet of Anenecuilco in Morelos was the home
town of Emiliano Zapata; the state was the center of
Zapata's Mexican Revolution campaign, and a small city
in the Morelos is named after him. Morelos was
traditionally a Nahuatl-speaking territory, and variants
of the language are still spoken today in towns such as
Hueyapan and Cuentepec, as well as Tetelcingo, where a
highly distinctive dialect is used. (Information provided by

| Cuautla (kwau-tlah), officially La heroica e histórica Cuautla de Morelos, (The Heroic and Historic Cuautla of Morelos) or H. H. Cuautla de Morelos, is a city and municipality in the Mexican state of Morelos. In the 2005 census the city population was 145,482 and the municipality population was 160,285. The municipality covers 153.651 km² (59.325 sq mi). Cuautla is the third most populous city in the state, after Cuernavaca and Jiutepec. The city was founded on 4 April 1829 and gets its name from the Nahuatl: "Cuauhtlan", meaning "eagles' nest". The current municipal president (mayor) is Sergio Valdespín. (Information provided by Wikipedia. Click on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuautla,_Morelos for additional information.) |
|
The city is quite warm year-round. In the winter, there is a slight decrease in both the daytime and nighttime temperatures, and because of Cuautla's proximity to the Tropic of Cancer and its altitude (about 4,500 feet above sea level), the nighttime temperatures year-round usually average about 57°F (14°C). On the other hand, because Cuautla is somewhat close to the Equator, temperatures year-round tend to reach into the mid 80s to lower 90s°F (upper 20s°C to the lower 30s°C) even during the winter, and in spring on many days the daytime temperatures may reach well into the upper 90s°F (upper 30s°C).
Things to See and Do
The area is a tourist-friendly region with abundant hot springs. These hot springs are perfect for the health and spa resorts in the area. It features many archeological sites such as Chalcatzingo and indigenous communities such as the Tepoztlán and Tetelcingo among others. Agua Hedionda (Spanish: Stinky Water), classified as one of the important water springs of the world due to its chemical composition, is also located in this little city. These waters have a characteristic smell reminiscent of rotten eggs because of their sulfur content. The Morelos Museum contains artifacts and descriptions about Mexico's War of Independence from Spain. It honors José María Morelos, whose rebel troops managed to hold off Royalist troops for 58 days. The Museum adjoins the old narrow-gauge railroad which was used to haul sugar cane to the local mills. The narrow-gauge was retired in 1973. The tomb of the famous Mexican revolutionary hero Emiliano Zapata is also located in this city, and every year several festivities are held around the anniversary of his death.

As of the 2005 census, the population of the city was 332,197; the municipality's entire population was 349,102 in an area of 151.2 km2 (58.4 sq mi) that includes numerous small localities outside the city, like Ocotepec, where interesting religious celebrations take place, like the Day of the Dead in the first days of November. Cuernavaca is located about 85 km (53 mi) south of Mexico City on the M-95 freeway. It is known as "the city of eternal spring" because of its consistent 27°C (80°F) weather year round. Cuernavaca sits in the heart of central Mexico, and is surrounded by some of the most beautiful and culturally rich regions of the country. The city's name comes from Nahuatl Cuauhnāhuac "place near trees," the name of the pre-Columbian altepetl at the location. The name was altered to Cuernavaca by influence of the Spanish words cuerno "horn" and vaca "cow." (Information provided by Wikipedia. Click on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuernavaca for additional information.) |

The city's bus system is economical and easy to use. Bus destinations from Cuernavaca include very regular services to Mexico City (every 15 minutes) as well as services to Puebla, Tepoztlan, Taxco, Acapulco and other destinations throughout Morelos. There is a toll road. Cuernavaca is no longer served by rail services. Cuernavaca has developed air-transportation service throughout the last few years due to its proximity to Mexico City. The airport in Cuernavaca General Mariano Matamoros Airport is a national airport in the Southern-east area of the city and it is considered as alternate to Mexico City International Airport. Some airlines such as Avolar, and Viva Aerobus are already offering some weekly frequencies from the country's largest cities such as Monterrey and Tijuana.

Oaxtepec
Oaxtepec is a town within the municipality of Yautepec in the
northern part of Morelos. Its main industry is tourism, mostly aimed at the
inhabitants of nearby Mexico City, and the town possesses various aquatic
resorts and hotels. The climate is tropical and the countryside very lush. It
has 78,000 inhabitants.
In pre-Columbian times, already one of the
largest towns in the region, it was conquered by the Aztecs
under the rule of Moctezuma Ilhuicamina. During Moctezuma
Ilhuicamina's reign (1440-1469), the first leisure centre for
nobles was created in the warm territory of Oaxtepec, as well as
low lands to the south of Tenochtitlan valley, today's Morelos.
Moctezuma ordered to use the water springs of Oaxtepec to create
an irrigation system for agriculture and preservation of
important vegetation of the Aztec empire. An elaborate royal
garden was established here where both flowers and other plants
were cultivated. When the Spanish first arrived to the region,
they marvelled at the beauty of the place. They praised Oaxtepec
in their chronicles of the Aztec conquest. In the 16th century,
thanks to the great number of medicinal plants found in the
region, the Spaniards decided to construct the Santa Cruz de
Oaxtepec hopital. Bernandino Álvares directed the project in
1569 and for the next two hundred years it was administrated by
the Hermanos de la Caridad. (Information provided by

| The town's name comes from the
Nahuatl
ocotl ("pine tree") and tepec ("mountain"); thus, the name
of this location means "mountain with pines." Originally this place
was inhabited by the tlahuica culture, then, they became a group under
the mexicas rule and they paid tribute to them. They did so until the
Spanish conquest was done. While tlahuicas lived in Ocotepec, it was
always a separated location from Cuauhnahuac (Cuernavaca) but now days,
Ocotepec is considered one of the 48 locations of Cuernavaca
municipality.
In the center of this location, there is
the church dedicated to the Divino Salvador. An
important road crosses Ocotepec, the Federal Highway
from Cuernavaca to Tepoztlán.
The town is also the site the Nahuatl University of Ocotepec (UNO), an independent institution founded by Mariano Leyva, who studied the ancient prehispanic cultures. In the originality of its buildings, in this University it is interesting to admire the pyramid inspirated style of the architecture. One of the buildings is dedicated to the god Tezcatlipoca, others to Huitzilopochtli, Tlaloc and Xipe Totec. (Information provided by Wikipedia.
