I have on previous occasions posted some photos taken by a friend of Alejandro who is a mountain climber and guide. Here is a beautiful picture of the volcano Popocatépetl which he recently took.
Many people, when they think of Mexico, imagine cactus or palm trees. Yes, those exist in abundance. (In fact, Mexico's deserts have the highest number of cactus species in the world.) However, the nation ranks 4th in the world for biodiversity, and is home to around 26,000 species of native plants and trees. It surprises some visitors to see the mountain slopes of central Mexico covered with pine forests.
