In Mexico we have a wide diversity of climates.

Arid and desert areas north of the territory.

Humid climates with tropical jungles to the south and southeast.
Climates of high mountain in the elevated areas, with
antagonistic climates at relatively short distance between them.
Extreme temperatures ranging from 50 ° C to -26 ° C

It is one of the countries with the greatest diversity of ecosystems in the world, because
the tropic of cancer is crossing the territory.
