Guerrero

The territory extends across 63,597 square kilometers of land, featuring mountain ranges of Sierra Madre del Sur and fertile river valleys near the Pacific Ocean.

The state, established in 1849, bears the name of Vicente Guerrero, a notable leader in the Mexican War of Independence and second President of Mexico.

Indigenous communities, including Nahuas, Mixtecs, Tlapanecs, and Amuzgos, maintain their languages and traditions throughout the 81 municipalities of the state.

The capital city of Chilpancingo connects to Mexico City through a railway system, while coastal areas offer access to Pacific Ocean transportation routes.

Mining operations extract six different minerals including silver, gold, copper, lead, antimony, and iron from deposits throughout the mountainous regions.
