About Eterna Primavera

A word on the name first: Eterna Primavera is a small community in the municipality of Temixco, not Cuernavaca, the city nicknamed "of eternal spring". The name echoes that nickname, and the climate of the area is mild for much of the year. It sits at 1,318 m above sea level on slopes west of the built-up area, on the line between Temixco and Cuernavaca; its postal code is 62595.

It has filled in quickly: INEGI counted 197 residents in 2000, 510 in 2010 and 1,088 in 2020. Catholics make up most of the population (785 people), with 160 Protestants and 143 with no religion, according to census figures gathered on Citypopulation. Because it straddles the boundary between two municipalities, it had a well-known water problem: part of the colonia belongs to Cuernavaca and Temixco's water system could not supply it without a dispute. La Jornada Morelos reported that after about 15 years the two councils agreed on a water supply.

It is not a tourist stop and there is nothing to review. What lies nearby is the best of Temixco: the Xochicalco archaeological site, a World Heritage Site, is in the neighbouring municipality of Miacatlán, and Acatlipa and Cuentepec, the two oldest communities of Temixco, already existed before the Triple Alliance of 1428, according to Wikipedia (en).

How to get to Eterna Primavera

Drive from Cuernavaca: 20 min, 14 km

Eterna Primavera is about 9 km from Cuernavaca in a straight line (roughly 10 to 20 minutes by car, depending on traffic) and about 8 km from Xochitepec. Wikipedia (en) puts Temixco's seat 6 km from Cuernavaca and 85 km from Mexico City; from the capital the route is the Mexico–Cuernavaca toll road (95D), about 85 to 90 km, then towards Temixco on the free road or the bypass and up into the western slopes. Bring a phone map: the colonia is on the edge between Temixco and Cuernavaca and has no official signage.

By bus, Pullman de Morelos runs from the Terminal Sur (Taxqueña) to the Cuernavaca bus station; from there take a combi or taxi towards Temixco and the colonia. We found no published timetable for the urban route that climbs to Eterna Primavera, so ask in Temixco for the combi that goes there.
