About Mexico
Mexico is an extremely mountainous country with Sierra Madre Occidental in the west and the Sierra Madre Oriental in the east that enclose a high, semi-desert plateau. The variability of the Mexican climate allows this part of Northern America to support a diverse vegetation, including desert, tropical, subtropical, temperate and montane communities
Highlights in Mexico are the capital city of Mexico City, Monterrey, with its beautiful colonial buildings and Guadalajara.
