About
Jardín Borda is a historic garden in the centre of Cuernavaca, the capital of the state of Morelos in Mexico. It is also known as the Borda Garden. Its address is Av. Morelos 271, in the Centro district, so it sits within easy reach of the city's central streets and public life.
The garden dates from the 18th century and was created by José de la Borda. Visitors come to see its landscaping and its fountains, which give the grounds a calm, shaded character suited to a slow walk. Because the garden is a park with a long history, it makes a pleasant change from the busier parts of the city.
What a visit offers
- Gardens and landscaping: the historic grounds, laid out as a botanical garden, are the main reason to come.
- Fountains: water features are part of the garden's design and add to its atmosphere.
- Art exhibitions: the garden also works as a cultural centre, so it may host exhibitions alongside the outdoor spaces.
Planning your trip
The garden suits a relaxed half-day, whether you want to stroll the grounds, look at the fountains or see what exhibitions are on. Because it is in the historic centre, you can combine it with other sights and places to eat in Cuernavaca's old town.
