I literally met a man from Chiapas yesterday, I asked him if it was as south, he excitingly said yes and was ecstatic I knew a bit about Mexican geography

2:16 As someone who has visited Southern Tamaulipas this part of the State has a resemblance to the Western Louisiana Marshland there’s alots of crocodiles 🐊 and lakes it has the most important Port and refinery in the country

You should have put Huapango music from Veracruz and not Andalusian Flamenco music from Spain

[elperrodelautumo]

It makes sense why central, north, and southern parts of Mexico 🇲🇽 are different. It’s not just geography differences itself but its cultural and some socioeconomic differences that makes each piece of Mexico unique.

With all due respect, as a Mexican who has been and studied demographics and ecosystems around the country, I may say the map made by the fan it’s quite more accurate. As it portrays a more precise size of some regions, and excludes some you included wich to be honest are not really a thing such as “altiplano mexicano”. The region you describe as the altiplano it’s not only extremely large and different nature wise but it’s quite more diverse when talking about people groups.

Mexico is part of a continuum from the south to the north and into the states that border it, especially Texas and California most notably. It's so varied as well with regions more entrenched in local and native culture, and other regions having a lot more in common with Spain and other Latin American countries.

As a Mexican, one thing that always bothers me is when non Mexicans talk about Mexico and have flamenco guitar in the background. Flamenco is Spanish music. Mexicans are not Spanish. We fought a war to make that happen.

As someone from the state of Queretaro, it’s interesting to see that we’ve been put in the center of Mexico (from what I can tell), because normally we’re classified in the Bajío region

[n.alejandror.linares]

Great job! I’d just like to clarify one thing. El Bajío, as we know it in Mexico, is a region located within the Mexican Altiplano, roughly corresponding to the southernmost part of what your map refers to as the “Altiplano.” It includes parts of the states of Guanajuato, Querétaro, Jalisco, Michoacán, and San Luis Potosí, but it in no way extends to the Pacific coast. What you’re calling “Bajío” actually aligns more closely with the region known as “Occidente, ” which is dominated by the states of Jalisco, Michoacán, Nayarit, and Colima.

As an American even if we have issues I’m so glad Mexico is our southern neighbor, excluding the horrific cartel those aren’t as great. But I have only had good experiences with people form Mexico

[gerardsotxoa]

Guadalajara is not the Bajío region.

The region between Guadalajara or Atemajac Valley and the Bajío states is called Los Altos de Jalisco (Jalisco's Highlands) for a reason.

[alejandroarroyo]

Did you know in Mexico City they eat quesadillas without cheese?

[cheeseburger]

As a Mexican from Nuevo León I can say this is very well explained, great video. As an additional detail I would only add that el norte region also has a notable non-catholic christian population being around 15%

[juanjacobomoracerecero]

A lot of Americans will be shocked to discover that within México there are cultural differences amongst regions, I mean, some of them consider Uruguay and Mexico and the Dominican Republic more or less "the same thing".

Gracias por representar México a los gringos

[zaviear]

Its cool, tho El Bajio should have really included the three mining states Guanajuato, San Luis Potosi and Zacatecas, those three are more culturally similar to Jalisco than to Durango and Sonora

[sebastianprimomija]

I dislike the term "Mestizo" because it give the impression to foreigners that Mexicans who would be described as such are a cohesive ethnic group. Mexico on an ethnic and genetic level is super diverse, there are alot of cases where two tribes live right next to each other and yet shared no genetic similarities to the chagrin of the modern medical industry in Mexico. Take the word with a grain of salt for a Mestizo from Michoacan will not be the same genetically from a Mestizo from Veracruz.

[AsU-yzlo]

The Chihuahua region is more similar to the Midwest in terms of agricultural produce and German influence. Fun fact: Chihuahua has 3 official languages: Spanish, English, and Plautdietsch.

Man, one of my favorite history and geopol creators never failing to impress us!
As a Mexican, this video is fantastic! Not only for international audiences, but also national audiences that might not be too well-versed on such a vast and varied landscape.
What a masterpiece. ¡Bravo, Señor Z, Bravo!
