There are many mountains in Mexico, such as the Popocatepetl, Iztaccihuatl, Cofre de Perote or Pico de Orizaba. If you mean "mountain ranges", there are three in Mexico. One is the Sierra Madre Oriental on eastern Mexico; the other is the Sierra Madre Occidental on western Mexico and the Sierra Madre del Sur on southern Mexico.

If you mean the chain of volcanoes that bisects the country from east to west, they're called the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, known locally as the Sierra Nevada (not to be confused with the California [U.S.] mountains of the same name).

Some of them would be:

  • Popocatepetl volcano
  • Pico de Orizaba
  • Iztaccihuatl volcano
  • Cofre de Perote
  • Paricutin volcano
  • Chichon or Chichonal volcano

Most of these volcanoes are still active, with varying degrees of hazard. For instance, the Popocatepetl volcano has limited access to its dome, whereas passage is allowed only for professional geologists and civil defense personnel.
