The highlighted green area is Mexico state.

In the heart of Mexico, surrounded by eight states, lies the state of Mexico, one of the most complex and varied in the country. The scenery varies from arid landscapes to fertile land in the warm valleys of the south, dotted with imposing volcanoes. The climate is equally diverse, ranging from semi-tropical in the south, to cold or cool in the north and center, with extensive forests at heights of up to 2,600 meters above sea level.

Here, the colonial era produced some of the finest churches, monasteries and palaces in the country. Nowadays, this thriving, industrious state offers visitors archaeological zones, historical monuments, culture, nature and places for adventure and recreation, as well as colorful regional fiestas.
