Sierra Madre del Sur

The Sierra Madre del Sur is a mountain range in southern Mexico, extending over 600 miles from west to east. It runs parallel to the Pacific coast and creates a natural barrier between different regions. The range is characterized by rugged peaks, deep valleys, and diverse ecosystems, hosting a variety of plant and animal species. It influences climate and weather patterns, often bringing rainfall and shaping local agriculture and communities. This mountain range is also significant historically and culturally, home to indigenous peoples and vital for regional biodiversity and natural resources.
