You can get to bakeries, grocery stores, parks, cafes and theaters all within a 15-minute walk. We recommend walking because it\u2019s free, great for your health and gives you the chance to interact and engage with the community in a more personal level.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a short video to show you what the walk down town looks like!\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/pv5oxwuXVA0\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/pv5oxwuXVA0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>By Bus<\/p>\n<p>If your destination is a little too far to walk, the most economic way to get around is on the <em>Rutas<\/em> (city bus).\u00a0 Due to their bright green color some of the buses in Cuernavaca are called <em>Los Chapulines<\/em> (the grasshoppers). \u00a0You can get just about anywhere in Cuernavaca and some of the surrounding towns for 6.50 to 10 pesos (about 50 cents in USD). Two different routes (8 &amp; 4) pass right in front of CEMAL, making it easier to go to and from the school!<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-52420 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/10\/Bus-Stop27-e1477510341804-225x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"Student at bus stop\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-52421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/10\/Bus-Stop27-e1477510341804-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/10\/Bus-Stop27-e1477510341804-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-52421'>\n\t\t\t\tBus stop in Cuernavaca, Mexico\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/10\/Un-Chapulin-26-225x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"A green bus on the street\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-52424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/10\/Un-Chapulin-26-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/10\/Un-Chapulin-26-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-52424'>\n\t\t\t\tThe city bus in Cuernavaca\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Check out this map to get a better idea of Cuernavaca&#8217;s\u00a0bus system:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rutasdecuernavaca.wordpress.com\/2013\/03\/11\/mapa-de-las-rutas\/\">https:\/\/rutasdecuernavaca.wordpress.com\/2013\/03\/11\/mapa-de-las-rutas\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>By Taxi<\/p>\n<p>The best way to get from point A to B when you are too tired to walk, or your traveling in a group, is in a taxi! Taking a taxi is a safe and convenient way to get to your destination. We recommend that you call a radio taxi company when you are in need of a pickup. Calling a radio taxi requires the driver to radio in when they pick you up, give the destination to the dispatch, and inform dispatch when you safely arrive. Taxis are not metered, which keeps the cost relatively low. A trip to downtown costs around 30 pesos (about $1.75 in USD) and a 30-minute trip runs about 50 pesos (about $2.75 in USD).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_52422\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-52422\" style=\"width: 290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-52422\" src=\"http:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/10\/Ruta-Taxi-24-290x300.jpg\" alt=\"A taxi on the street in Mexico\" width=\"290\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/10\/Ruta-Taxi-24-290x300.jpg 290w, https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/10\/Ruta-Taxi-24-768x793.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/10\/Ruta-Taxi-24-991x1024.jpg 991w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-52422\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A taxi zooms by on the streets of Cuernavaca<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Planes, trains and automobiles or in our case by foot, bus or taxi! &nbsp; With all the interesting and &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":236,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-52420","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mexico"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52420","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/236"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52420"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52420\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":53248,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52420\/revisions\/53248"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52420"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52420"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52420"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
