La Perseverancia: Sports and Culture

The Centro Deportivo y Cultural La Perseverancia is located on Avenida Juárez, at the corner of Boulevard 18 de Marzo, in the Cuauhtémoc neighborhood of Jojutla, Morelos. The Centro Cultural La Perseverancia has covered basketball courts, squash courts, and a semi-Olympic swimming pool. Rooms for cultural activities and an auditorium complement the center’s sports facilities. Sports and cultural activities thus take place side by side.

At the municipal level, Jojutla’s cultural department promotes workshops and exhibitions.
