| Directions to Casa Del Artista by car from Mexico City |  We
are at 307 Calle de las Piedras which is one block south of Paseo del
Conquistador
off of Domingo Diez. Easy to get to coming in from Mexico City; get off
at the first Cuernavaca Exit. You will come to a glorieta (circle) with
an
abstract
sculpture, go left at the circle and head south on Domingo Diez,
after about 1 kilometer pass the stop light at Paseo del
Conquistador,
past the new walmart then turn right on the first street: Calle de las
Piedras
and go down three blocks. You'll see a three story yellow house on the
right that is #30A we are across the street at 307 |

| Directions from the airport in Mexico City | So let's assume you fly down
here. You'll
have to fly into Mexico City (about one hour and forty minutes from
Cuernavaca
by bus). The flight into to Mexico City, if it is a pretty clear day,
is
spectacular especially at night so be sure to get a look as you fly in.
When you land it will take a while to make it through the baggage pick up and customs; maybe around an hour so just try to relax and take it easy. They have a random check of luggage using a light stand with a button on it. Your supposed to press the button as you go by and how you know if your going to have to be searched is if you press the button on the light and it flashes red. Usually it is green but every now and then it is red and that means you'll have to have your bags checked. What ever you do don't bring any guns, bullets or illegal drugs with you. After this you will stand in a line and have to pay around 20.00 (USD) for your tourist visa and they will tend to mark it for a one to three month stay but you can request for them to mark it for up to 180 days which is what I usually get since I am here most of the time. Then you will go through some frosted doors into a large hallway where everybody is waiting for their long lost who knows who and there is usually a bunch of drivers holding up signs for this or that business person. When you come out into the hall, go to the left. You will see porters to carry your luggage, go ahead and have them carry it to the bus stop for you and give them at least 20 pesos maybe up to 50 or 2-5 dollars if you have not exchanged any money but you will want to change some money into pesos to pay for the bus ticket and taxi when you get to Cuernavaca and you'll see some 'cambios' on the right hand wall as you exist. The ticket area for Cuernavaca busses is upstairs the poster will lead the way - it is well worth it to use him. Look for the Cuernavaca schedule it should be Pullman de Morelos. Tickets are around 110. pesos. Busses leave for Cuernavaca about every 45 minutes and the last bus out for the day to Cuernavaca is around 11.00 pm. see bus schedule for Mexico City airport Then you will place you baggage with the driver or attendant who will give you a stub for each bag they put in the compartments under the passenger entrance side of the bus. While on the bus you will be served a soda pop or coffee and close to the end of the trip as you arrive in Cuernavaca the attendant will give everybody some little peanut bars to snack on. There will usually be a movie playing on a little suspended TV, usually in English of some movie you saw a few of months ago in the theater. The first hour of the drive is the slow heavy traffic to get out of Mexico City. When your exiting the city there will be a toll station and this starts the road to Cuernavaca, then you will go up a mountain pass. There will be another great view of Mexico City on the way up this pass to your left and behind you. Then you'll go over the pass and gradually down the other side passing a huge curve called 'the pear' because of the shape of the switchback curve. Just before this curve and once you pass this curve there will be some views of the valley where Cuernavaca is (off to the right at the top of the curve and off to the left at the bottom of it). To the left side of the large valley with the Chinese looking rock outcroppings is the Tepotzlan area, a lovely little town about 20 minutes from Cuernavaca. Tepoztlan has a kind of new age, spiritual, hippy, UFO reputation and is a great place to go walk around on wednesdays or the weekend when they have the market where people from around the area sell goods, food, veggies, fresh meat, and tourist items, etc. You should definitely visit there when in the area. There is also a nice little pyramid high up above the town which is a popular place to climb up to. The climb is arduous and not for the timid or 'out of shape' visitors but crazy chilangos (weekenders from Mexico City) will walk up this steep rocky climb even in high heals carrying a 2 year old kid! There are two locations in Cuernavaca where the busses arrive; to La Selva and the downtown bus station. At either one you will catch a taxi to Casa Del Artista. There are always taxis available. There are literally thousands of taxis in Cuernavaca. They charge more than the average to tourists but what the heck, that's normal every where. The normal minimum charge to go anywhere is 15 pesos, but since your a tourist you can expect to pay 25 for the same ride going from the bus station. Most places in Cuernavaca are going to be between 25 and 60 pesos unless you pretty far out from center. No need to tip any taxi drivers unless they do something really special for you like carry your bags up to a second story apartment - not likely. A good idea is to have the directions in hand (see above) and just give them to the driver. If he is not clear where it is he'll ask somebody.
