Yes, there are some of them:

  • Paso de Cortes. It is the mountain pass or saddle between the Popocatepetl and Ixtaccihuatl volcanoes in central México.
  • Mar de Cortes. Also known as Gulf of California, it is the body of water that separates the Baja California Peninsula from mainland Mexico.
  • Villa de Cortes. A small town south of Tenochtitlan during colonial times founded by Cortes himself, now within the area of greater Mexico City. There is a subway station at such location, with the same name.
