Mexico 2.013

For more than 20 years we have been asking locals and visitors what is on their map of Mexico. Planeta.com's award-winning Mexico coverage is the result of this dialogue but we'd like to go further using social media and old-school heritage media. We want maps! Take-away maps and innovative mash-ups using Google Earth and smart phones. Look for updates.

GEOGRAPHY

A mountainous spine extends from Baja's northwest to the southeast. Mountains give way to a broad plain that forms the great Vizcaino Desert, home to the largest protected area in Latin America. To the West lies the Pacific Ocean. To the East, the famous Sea of Cortez.

The Baja Peninsula supports four ecosystems: desert, wetlands, woodlands and tropical forests.
