Get to Know Mexico: Veracruz

Veracruz

I learned that Veracruz is divided into seven different and unique regions. People are drawn to Veracruz because they have a chance to relax or do various activities. These activities include diving, snorkeling, fishing, and river rafting. People who try to relax usually go to La Antigua and Tierra Blanca, and people who enjoy liveliness often head to Tecolutla and Papantla. Veracruz is also famous for its delicious traditional foods using locally found ingredients.

Get to Know Mexico: Durango

Durango

I learned that Durango is the fourth largest state in Mexico when it comes to land. Because of this, there are many different kinds of plants and animals inside Durango. In fact, there are multiple ecosystems in Durango, and it is therefore separated into four regions: the Mountains, Valleys, Semi-Desert, and the Ravines. People can do various things in Durango, including camping, mountain biking, and repelling. I also learned that many old Western films were recorded in Durango because of its amazing landscape.
