Located in Central Mexico spanning from East to West, the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt Pine-Oak Forests is a must see ecoregion. The belt is home to the tallest mountain ranges in Mexico, and is also one the most diverse forests on this side of the world, both in plant diversity and in species diversity. The diversity is not random, but caused by the diverse biomes that span the ecoregion, from Temperate to Tropical regions. It also spans from many states in the country of Mexico, including Michoacan, Nayarit, Jalisco, Puebla, and Guanajuato. More specifics on the ecosystem would be poster later, but to get a better understanding of the area I speak of I included a picture in this post.
