Southern Mexico and northern Central America are known as Mesoamerica, the region where several civilizations such as the Olmec, Aztec and Maya rose before contact with Europeans was made in the 16th century.

Also, both Mexico and Central America belong to the North American subcontinent (using the 7-continent model) or to a cultural region known as Latin America, which also spans the Caribbean and South America.
