Plateau includes the border ranges and covers most of Mexico: Eastern
Sierra Madre (4054 m) and the Western Sierra Madre (3150 m) and the transverse
volcanic Sierra (5700 m). Climate - tropical or subtropical, varies on
the nature of the relief. The average January temperature from 10 degrees
Celsius in the north-west to 25 degrees Celsius in the south, and the
average July temperature is 30 degrees Celsius. The largest river is
the Rio Bravo del Norte which borders on the USA. In hot and humid parts
there are ever-green tropical forests; in the mountains mixed and coniferous
forests are dominated, in arid areas you can find semi-desert and desert
vegetation. Pine tree is very beautiful here. Ancient people considered
pine tree sacred, and idolized its bumps. They were a symbol of fertility.
Pine, like a giant umbrella, with large and heavy cones is striking in
its beauty. The local lagoons keep all the secrets of ancient times. Sailing boats roam the ocean, meeting sunsets and sunrises. But I think, native people are used to living here and don’t pay attention to the wonders of their land. But we do, of course. Cancun embankments are buried in tropical foliage, striking its unprecedented beauty and originality. Here the ocean carries its clean turquoise waters, flashing and playing in the rays of the sun. Staying in Cancun you don’t miss the singing of heavenly bird- Calibri. Their life is firmly connected with the plants in full blossom. Nectar is their source of food. Nectar means God’s food; that is why, Calibri are also referred to God’s creatures. It’s fun to watch them feeding their nestlings. They are wonderful; their wings are long and bright-colored. Their weight is only 1,6 – 20 grams. They are the smallest birds in the world. There are about 319 species in America from the south of Alaska and Labrador to the Fire Earth. But sometimes they are met close to snowy mountains. Especially tropics are rich in a great diversity of these creatures. You can’t stand looking at these pretty birds. Native people say that they are presented by God for their obedience. |
