GEOGRAPHY
Mexico is a vast country bounded to the north over the Rio Grande by the United States and by Guatemala and Belize to the south. The Sierra Madre and Rocky Mountains run south from the border with the US. The interior consists of an elevated plateau. Northern Mexico is dry and desert-like, while the south is mountainous jungle containing the ruins of ancient Mayan and Aztec city complexes. Mexico is one of the world's most bio-diverse countries.
