This unique region is one of the most interesting and diverse geographical areas of the world and is still very much a frontier. The peninsula is home to some of the earth's most beautiful deserts, along with semi-tropical and mountainous regions, pine forests, and hundreds of miles of untouched beaches and coastline.
Most people of mainland Mexico consider it a far off place, much in the way Americans would think of Alaska... distant, mystical, harsh and beautiful. Although a frontier, it is a popular destination for travelers, especially those from all over North America seeking warm weather in the winter months.
