    Just east of the city center lies this deep wooded canyon. Cuernavaca has developed an elevated trail, suspended about halfway up the canyon walls. The path begins just below - to the east of - the El Calvario church and proceeds first through a stepped garden built to resemble, symbolically, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. The garden was built during the Porfiriato. Following the gardens, the path drops into the canyon proper and goes under the graceful arch of a very tall stone bridge, which was Cuernavaca's first - also built by order of Diaz. The path continues winding down through the almost jungle canyon, hanging roots drape down into the deep canyon; larger roots holding canyon walls as they descend 100 meters into the creek below. It is hard to imagine that you are in the middle of a city of a million people.

    Templo de la 3rd Orden de
    San Francisco

    Built in a high-walled fortress, the cathedral of Cuernavaca stands built on a grand scale to impress and intimidate the natives. It was one of the first Christian missions to Mexico being started in 1526. The cathedral was a center for missionary work to Asia and one of the frecos was supposedly painted by an early Japanese convert. Two smaller churches occupy the northern corners of the compound, the 18th century Templo de la Tercera Orden de San Francisco (started in 1723) and the late 19th century Capilla del Carmen.

    The cathedral compound is across the street (Morelos) from the Jardin Borda - an 18th century garden and residence for one of the leading silver mine owners of Taxco. The Jardin Borda was also the summer residence of Maximilian and Carlota during their ill-fated stay in Mexico. On the southeastern edge of the compound is the Museo Robert Brady, a museum occupying his former home. It contains his vast collections of folk arts from around the world. Sunday and Monday closed, you are accompanied by one of the guides as you visit who are very informative.

    If you have two hours free,use them to go and visit piramides Teopanzolco.You have to go a short way out of the town,but it is worth.

    Find a high point in town on a clear day and you might be lucky enough to see two of Mexico'' most famous volcanos looming in the distance.

    The previous days rains provided me with a stunning view of Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl.

    Just up the road from Castilla de Cortes lies the cathedral square which is protected by a large stone wall. The 16th century cathedral is distinguished by it's bell tower and should not be confused with the two smaller chapels on the same grounds.

    The palace of the famed Spanish explorer Cortes now houses the Cuauhnauhuac Museum.

    Don't miss the Diego Rivera mural depiciting the brutal conquest of Mexico by the Spanish.
