Upon gathering at the predetermined meeting point, we will set off southward towards Cuernavaca, a destination favored for its pleasant climate that draws visitors throughout the year.
Once we arrive in Cuernavaca, our exploration will commence, highlighting the colonial architecture and charming plazas in the historic center.
