Introduction
The region of Mexico is a diverse and exciting place. There are many different regions, each with their own unique culture and attractions. Let’s take a look at some of the main Mexican regions:
Mexican Regions
Mexico is a large country with many different regions. Each region has its own culture, foods and traditions. In this article we will discuss some of these differences between Mexican regions.
Mexico City is the capital city of Mexico which means that it is where most politics happen in the country. The climate here is warm year round with lots of rain during summer months (May-September). The food here is more traditional because most people who live there are older generations who came from other parts of Mexico before settling down in this area as well as tourists who want something authentic while visiting such an important landmark!
Guadalajara has been nicknamed “GDL” by locals because they say “gwadala” instead of saying Guadalajara when they talk about their hometowns! This city has become known as one of best places for nightlife thanks to its vibrant atmosphere filled with fun bars full music clubs making sure everyone stays entertained throughout their stay!
Chihuahua
Chihuahua is the largest state in Mexico, with a population of 2.5 million people. It’s known for its diverse geography and rich history.
Chihuahua has an area of 75,141 square kilometers (29,400 square miles). It’s located in northern Mexico between Sonora on the west side and Coahuila on the east side; Durango borders it to the south while New Mexico lies across US borders to its north-east corner at 36 degrees latitude northwards towards El Paso city where you can find many Mexican restaurants serving tacos al pastor or even tacos de cabeza (cow head meat) but be careful because they’re not cheap!
Coahuila
Coahuila is a state in Mexico. The capital city of the state is Saltillo, which is located on the Lerma River and has about 500,000 people living there. Coahuila has been considered one of the poorest states in Mexico for many years now; however, it does have some industries that produce zinc and copper products as well as cattle farming.
Coahuila’s crime rate per 100k people was 2615 in 2016 compared to Mexico’s average of 2069 during that same time period (source). That means there were more than twice as many murders per capita compared to other parts of Mexico!
Durango
Durango is the capital of Durango state, which is in the north of Mexico. It’s known for its natural beauty and delicious food! Durango has a lot of history too: it was founded by Spanish conquistadores in 1563, making it one of the oldest cities in Mexico.
Guanajuato
Guanajuato is a state in the central highlands of Mexico. It’s known for its colonial architecture and role in Mexican history, as well as its many UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
The city of Guanajuato was named after an indigenous word meaning “place where deer abound.” This name refers to the area’s plentiful wildlife. In fact, during colonial times it was common practice for local hunters to leave food out on rooftops so that animals would come into town and make themselves easier targets for hunters!
Jalisco
Jalisco is a state in the western part of the country. The capital is Guadalajara, but you can also find several other cities with great cultural and historical significance like Colima, Puerto Vallarta and Tequila.
The state hosts two main mountain ranges: Sierra Madre Occidental (Western Mountains) and Sierra Madre Oriental (Eastern Mountains).
Mexico State
Mexico State is the most populous state in Mexico. Located in central Mexico, it is the second largest state by population and third largest by area. The city of Toluca de Lerdo serves as its capital.
The name “Mexico” comes from a combination of two Nahuatl words: “mexi,” meaning “place”, and “-co” (or -c), which means “here” or “nowhere”. It roughly translates as “At the place where things are made.” The Aztecs arrived at this location around 1325 CE. They built their capital on this site because it was located near fresh water sources and fertile land for farming–and because it had already been inhabited by other groups before them (including Teotihuacan).
Michoacan de Ocampo
Michoacan is a state in the country of Mexico. It has a population of over 3 million people, with its capital being Morelia. The state has a land area of 43,971 km2 (17,822 sq mi), making it the fourth smallest state by area out of 31 states that make up Mexico. However, it is also one of the least densely populated states in Mexico at only 5 people per square kilometer (12 per sq mile).
The state has a coastline on its Pacific Ocean side which includes beaches such as Puerto Vallarta and Zihuatanejo along with many other smaller towns along this coast such as Barra de Navidad.
Nayarit
Nayarit is a state in the Northwest of Mexico. It’s known for its beaches and seafood, but it also has some interesting geographical features. For example, it has the largest number of Zapotec speakers in Mexico–a language that’s related to Oaxacan Mixtec. The state capital is Tepic (Tepeaca).
The name Nayarit comes from an indigenous word meaning “place with many waters.”
