Flora and Fauna

Mexico borders the USA in the north, and Guatemala and Belize in the south. This leaves Mexico the biggest part of middle America. The countryside itself is very mountainous, with two big mountain ranges, the Sierra Madre Occidental in the west and the Sierra Madre Oriental in the east, that run parallel to the coast.

The north is dusty, dry and decorated with massive cacti, as seen in many famous Western films. In the center of the country dramatic volcanos and mountains surround green fertile highlands. Further south and east, the climate is tropical, and giving rise to a unique Flora und Fauna. Don't forget the coastal regions. In the west the country meets the pacific, and in the east, the Golf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. Beautiful beaches some of them untouched , leave no wish unfulfilled.
