Is Cuernavaca safe for women?

Cuernavaca has a lot of safe zones to visit. It’s better if you explore a map before going out because streets and geography of Cuernavaca are a bit confusing the fist time. It’s better not to go out alone after dark specially in dark places (streets and alleys).

Is Cuernavaca worth visiting?

Solo travel

Cuernavaca is easy to get to from the CDMX airport or the Terminal de Sur Taxqueña. Take the Pullman de Morelos direct bus right into town. Cuernavaca has Uber so I used that to get around. My primary reason for visiting here was to learn cumbia dancing at the Academia de Baile Calor Latino, which I found on YouTube believe it or not. This was truly a great experience, the owner has created a welcoming and fun place to spend time and really learn Latin dancing. So I spent my time dancing, and wandering around the main square trying restaurants, practicing Spanish, and people watching. I felt safe in the parts of town I frecuented. I took Uber to the Unesco world heritage site Xochicalco ruins. There was no cell service so I had to figure out the buses back. The bus drivers were very helpful and made sure I made the right connections. I plan to go back later this year to dance again and explore other areas. Feel free to contact me if you want to chat.
