The Mexican state of Chihuahua extends from desert plains to pine forests in the Sierra Madre Occidental, reaching elevations above 2000 meters. The region preserves a rich cultural and natural heritage that includes pre-Columbian rock art, colonial-era mining facilities, and religious buildings from several centuries. The landscape features deep gorges, natural waterfalls, and extensive mountain ranges. Archaeological sites document the early settlement of the region, while churches and chapels reflect Spanish influence from the 16th century onward. The diverse ecosystems range from arid zones to dense coniferous forests and support varied flora and fauna.
