The sister city relationship between Denver and Cuernavaca dates back to 1983. Since then, residents of both cities have benefited from the cultural, educational and personal exchanges that the relationship has promoted. High school students from both cities have traveled to the other in educational exchanges.
The Cuernavaca committee of Denver Sister Cities International has provided financial support for a few carefully selected charitable organizations operating in Cuernavaca. In 1996 an older fire truck from the Denver Fire Department fleet was refurbished and sent to the fire department in Cuernavaca.
One characteristic of Cuernavaca that makes it a particularly apt choice to be Denver’s Sister City is its altitude. At nearly 5,200 feet above sea level, Cuernavaca could also be called Mexico’s Mile High City (but for the fact that Mexico, like most of the world, uses the metric system).
