Deserts of Mexico

Mexico's fantastically varied climatic regions, mean that as well as the flourishing forests and jungles of the south, you can also experience the enjoyment of magnificent mountains and deserts in Mexico.  This  includes the most famous Sierra Madre mountain range which stretches from the northeast, right down into the southwest region of Mexico.

Mexico's desert regions lie towards the north of the country - in the states of Sinaloa, Chihuahua, Coahuila and Nuevo Leon.    One of Mexico's major cities, Monterrey, is located in the middle of Mexico's desert region; flanked by the majestic Sierra Madre mountains.
