Mexico's Mountainous Landscape

The Gulf of California serves as a vital breeding ground for whales, while Mexico's rugged terrain is among the most mountainous in the world. With major mountain ranges like the Sierra Madre and the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, much of the country is uninhabitable, leading to a significant urban population concentrated in central Mexico. Mexico City stands out as the largest and oldest city in North America, reflecting the rich history and complexity of the region's geography.
