Get in

Xochicalco, a treasure of ancient civilization, is located just 45 minutes away from Cuernavaca. To reach this archaeological site, you can take a taxi or use a ride-sharing app like UBER. If you prefer public transportation, Pullman de Morelos offers a direct bus service from Cuernavaca, departing from their station located near Parque Jardin Revolucion. The bus ride to Xochicalco takes about 45 minutes, and the fare is 40 Mexican pesos. Another option is Lasser bus lines, which also runs a direct bus service from their station on Adolfo Lopez Mateos in Cuernavaca. Although this bus makes frequent stops along the way and takes about an hour and a half, it drops you off right at the entrance of the archaeological site. If you want more flexibility, you can hire an UBER for the round trip, which usually costs between 200 and 300 Mexican pesos each way. Exploring both Cuernavaca and Xochicalco in a single day may be a tight schedule, but it is definitely doable for those seeking a cultural adventure!
