Bodies of Water of Mexico

Officially known as the United Mexican States, Mexico is in southern North America, sharing borders with the United States to the north and Guatemala and Belize to the southeast. The Pacific Ocean defines its expansive coastal boundaries to the west, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea to the east. The country's geographical diversity extends to various islands and archipelagoes scattered along its coastlines.

Mexico's geographical position, situated between two major oceans and its complex topography, has blessed the nation with an extraordinary array of water bodies that shape both its natural landscape and cultural identity. From the pristine beaches of the Caribbean to the rugged Pacific coastline, from ancient crater lakes nestled in volcanic highlands to mighty rivers carving through tropical forests, Mexico's aquatic features represent some of the most diverse and ecologically significant water systems in North America.
