What kind of landscape is in Mexico?
Located atop three tectonic plates (North American, Pacific and Cocos Plates), Mexico is one of the most geologically active regions of Earth. This has resulted in a varied topography, which includes the three Sierra Madre mountain ranges, the Mexican Altiplano and the flat lands around the Yucatan Peninsula. Also, The Tropic of Cancer (23° 26' 22'' N) effectively divides the country into northern temperate and southern subtropical zones.
Some of Mexico's major physical features include:
- The eastern, western and southern mountain ranges known as Sierra Madre Oriental, Sierra Madre Occidental and Sierra Madre del Sur, respectively.
- The Mexican Central Plateau or Mexican Altiplano, delimited by these three mountain ranges.
- The flat, triangular-shaped peninsula known as Yucatan peninsula, to the south bordering Guatemala and Belize.
- The Baja California peninsula, also known as Baja, is the long but thin land mass to the northwest, connected to the top of Mexico but separated from most of the mainland by the Gulf of California or Sea of Cortes.
- The Gulf of Mexico, located at the eastern side of Mexico from the Mexico-Texas border down to the Yucatan peninsula.
- The Chihuahuan and Sonoran deserts, spanning most of northwestern Mexico from the Baja California peninsula to the Sierra Madre Oriental mountain range.
- Several active and inactive volcanoes, such as the Popocatepetl (5426 m/17802 ft), Iztaccihuatl (5230 m/17159 ft), Paricutin (2800 m/9186 ft), Chichon (1205 m/3953 ft) and Pico de Orizaba (5636 m/18491 ft).

Why do you think the Mexican flag has an eaglea cactus and a snake?
The reason for this is that in legend, the Aztecs, who were the last ancient civilization of Mexico, were told by their gods and or goddesses to leave the spot where they were. They were told that when they see an eagle with a snake in its mouth land on a cactus on an island in a lake, that is where they should set up their new home. That place is now Mexico City. The picture on the flag represents this story.
What do you need to know when you go to Mexico?
I guess you mean on safety issues. In that case:
- Don't drink the tap water; be sure to drink bottled water only. This is a must.
- If you are going to Mexico City, use Taxis de Sitio(authorized taxis) from the airport and hotel you are staying. Never take a cab in the streets.
- Don't wear too much jewelry (bling-bling). It is badly seen on a foreign tourist, and you can get mugged because of it.
