Another great archaeological site well worth a day trip from Mexico City and environs. The buildings are nicely restored and the hilltop setting is impressive: you can see why the founders chose this important location overlooking the surrounding area. The museum is small and nicely organized.

The archeological site is great, there's an awesome view and a very informative museum. In spring it can be too hot, so try and go early in the morning.

Our tour guide Angel Flores drove us here at our request. Had to pay $57 pesos/ea and another $400 for a guide. Twice what I was expecting, but in the end we were satisfied.

If you're in Cuernavaca, this is definitely worth the trip. The ruins are well preserved and have a scenic location high up in the hills.

Tour guide leaves much to be desired (not all I'm sure). Setting is very interesting. I've seen other ruins which I found more appealing and interesting.
