Many explorers throughout the centuries have explored Mexico due to its vast territory and huge amounts of Natural Resources. Some examples are provided:

Hernan Cortes (1485-1547) - First discoverer of Mexico; he conquered the whole region for the Spanish Empire and set four expeditions to northwestern Mexico. He is the discoverer of the Baja California Peninsula.

Nuño de Guzman (149-1544) - He explored northwestern Mexico.

Bernal Diaz del Castillo (1496-1584) - He explored southern Mexico and Guatemala.

Alvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca (1490-1558) - Explored the northern Gulf of Mexico; discovered New Mexico and Arizona.
