Explore Live Cams in Mexico

Mexico (México) stretches from the deserts of the US border to the rainforests of Central America, covering about 761,610 square miles (1,972,550 km²). Two long mountain ranges frame a high central plateau dotted with volcanoes, and its coasts run along the Pacific, the Gulf of Mexico and the turquoise Caribbean.

Its most famous natural wonders include Pico de Orizaba, the highest peak at about 18,491 feet (5,636 m), the smoking volcano Popocatépetl, and the Copper Canyon, a network of gorges in places deeper than the Grand Canyon. On the Yucatán Peninsula, thousands of cenotes, water-filled sinkholes, open into underground rivers. The golden eagle sits on the national flag.

Each winter, millions of monarch butterflies cover the fir forests of Michoacán, gray whales give birth in the lagoons of Baja California, and whale sharks gather off the Yucatán coast. The axolotl, a smiling salamander, lives in the canals of Xochimilco, and the tiny vaquita, the rarest marine mammal on Earth, survives in the Gulf of California.

Did You Know? The asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs 66 million years ago struck near Chicxulub on the Yucatán Peninsula, and a ring of cenotes still traces the edge of its buried crater.
