Answer 1

As for mountains, the tallest is the Pico de Orizaba (19°1'48''N, 97°16'12''W) with 5,636 meters (18,491 ft) above sea level.

The largest lake would be Chapala (20°20'N 103°00'W), southeast of the city of Guadalajara. Another one would be the Patzcuaro Lake (19°38'N 101°38'W), in the state of Michoacan.

• Chapala Lake - 1261 sq km (487 sq mi)
