Mexico is home to some of the most famous and scenic deserts in the world, as well as being the country where the most deserts are located.
Akože fakt, viac ako 60% územia mexickej krajiny sa nachádza v oblasti zodpovedajúcej pásu, v ktorom sú rozmiestnené púšte sveta, čo je dôvod, prečo je veľká časť krajiny suchá.
Mexico is home to two major deserts: the Chihuahuan and the Sonoran Desert, both contiguous with the United States.
The Chihuahuan Desert spans most of the region of Chihuahua, parts of Coahuila and Durango, as well as three US states.
The Sonoran desert covers the states of Baja California Norte and Baja California Sur, the islands of the Sea of Cortez and most of the state of Sonora.
Púšť Chihuahua
The Chihuahuan Desert is the largest desert in North America, located at the border between the United States and Mexico, and is divided between the Sierra Madre Occidental and Sierra Madre Oriental.
The deserts spans across the states of New Mexico, Texas, Arizona in the US, a čivava, Sonora, Durango, Coahuila, San Luis Potosi, and Zacatecas in Mexico.
The Chihuahuan Desert is characterized by variable climate conditions, with temperatures reaching over 40 degrees during the day and dropping extremely low at nightfall or in the winter season. Despite its harsh climate, the desert is home to a diverse array of púštne rastliny, stromy and animal life, s nad 400 species living within its boundaries.
The desert is in fact scattered in lakes, riek, and streams, which are home to many marine species that are now unfortunately at risk of extinction or low growth due to climate change and other environmental issues.

Púštny oltár
Altar Desert je jednou z hlavných oblastí Sonorskej púšte, a jedna z biologicky najrozmanitejších púští vo svete.
Jeho veľká príťažlivosť spočíva v dunách, ktoré ho tvoria, pretože majú veľmi zvláštne tvary, ktoré pripomínajú hviezdy.
Od r 2016 it is considered a Biosphere Reserve together with the dormant volcanic crater “El Pinacate”.
Oblasť, známy ako El Pinacate a biosférická rezervácia Gran Desierto de Altar, je svetové dedičstvo UNESCO, kde sa nachádza nad 500 druhy rastlín, 200 druhy nevestincov a 40 cicavcov, plazy a ryby, z ktorých mnohé sú zraniteľnými endemickými druhmi.
