A quiet corner in the Jardin Borda, a large series of gardens near the Cathedral in Cuernavaca. The gardens were started by an 18th-century mining family, and extended by an heir with a bent for botany. By the 1860s, the house and gardens had become a summer residence for the ill-fated Emperor Maximilian. Today, they are open to the public and offer a wide range of exhibits and quiet places to relax.
