Jojutla (officially known as Jojutla de Juarez) is in the southern part of the state of Morelos. Jojutla is a weekend destination for people who enjoy water sports of all kinds. There are at least a half dozen waterparks around town with tubes, chutes, wave pools and lazy rivers for tube floating. If you like your water faster, the nearby Amacuzac River offers Class 3 whitewater rafting. If you prefer a big, open lake for power boating, water skiing, or jet skiing, you'll love Lake Tequesquitengo.

Enormous botanical garden with groomed walking paths, a Japanese garden, and impressive collections of orchids and cacti. On-site restaurant. Transport is available (extra charge) if you don't want to walk many kilometers of trails. This is one of the largest botanical gardens in North America and will take hours to see it all, so bring a water bottle and protection from the sun.
