Mexico City
Mexico City is situated in the Valley of Mexico, an expansive highland region characterized by a unique and varied topography. The city itself rests at an elevation of approximately 7,350 feet (2,240 meters) above sea level, surrounded by formidable mountain ranges, including the Sierra de Guadalupe to the north and the Ajusco to the south, where the peak of Ajusco reaches nearly 12,900 feet (3,930 meters). This elevated setting contributes to a landscape that is both rugged and diverse, with volcanic plateaus and sprawling valleys that shape the urban environment. The interplay between the mountainous terrain and the valley’s flatlands creates distinct microclimates and rich ecological zones, supporting a wide range of flora and fauna. Additionally, remnants of ancient lakes and canals, particularly in areas like Xochimilco, further enhance the city’s unique geography, blending natural beauty with urban development.
