Mexico (South America)

SOUTHERN MEXICO AND THE GULF OF MEXICO

This region, which boasts some of the most amazing and diverse ecosystems on the planet, lies between two major bodies of water: the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean.

Rich in natural resources, culture and tradition, the states of Veracruz, Chiapas and Tabasco have tropical and semi-tropical climates (temperatures exceed 25° C, or 77° F).

The Olmeca region not only has numerous places to visit, but it ‘s also home to the manatee, the Atlantic spotted dolphin and the whale shark.

The strip of beach resorts in Veracruz, known as la Costa Esmeralda (the Emerald Coast), which stretches from Nautla to Tecolutla, is ideal for scuba diving, sportfishing, rock climbing, rappelling, rafting and kayaking.
