It is encircled by the United States on the north and by Guatemala and Belize on the south and is divided into six tourist regions. These regions are Northern Mexico, Central Mexico, Southern Mexico, The Yucatan Peninsula, The Pacific Coast and The Baja California Peninsula.
The city of Pachuca, known as the Windy City due to its strong afternoon winds, lies 97 kilometers north of Mexico City, off Highway 130. The city has a moderate semi-cold climate, with an average year-round temperature of 24 degree Celsius.

The ex-convent, which faces the main plaza, has a striking public clock that was modeled after England’s famous Big Ben. As for contemporary architecture, important examples include the Teatro de la Ciudad, which ranks among the top seven theaters in Latin America, and the Estadio Hidalgo, Mexico’s most modern stadium.
In the Windy City’s surrounding areas one can enjoy El Chico National Park, home to a wide variety of flora and fauna.
