Is Mexico a hilly country?
Yes. Mexico has a pretty rugged geography, in such way that its median altitude is on the 1,000-2,000 meter (3,000-6,000 feet) range. This means Mexico has an overall warm climate, but much of its territory is temperate and even cool, depending on altitude. For instance, Mexico City is on the same latitude as Hawaii, but due to its elevation, it has a rather mild climate of 18 ºC (64 ºF).
Does altitude affect any aspect of life?
Yes, the higher the city you're in, the colder the climate. That is why cities in northern Mexico receive snowfall during winter and cities along the central Mexican plateau have a rather temperate climate (68 °F).
