Zacatecas, State in north-central Mexico
This extensive territory combines desert landscapes at 2,350 meters elevation with mountain ranges from Sierra Madre Occidental and Sierra Madre Oriental.
Spanish colonizers established mining operations in the region during the 1540s, transforming Zacatecas into Mexico's primary silver production center.
The state maintains traditional festivals throughout its 58 municipalities, featuring regional dances, music performances, and celebrations of agricultural harvests.
The state connects major urban centers through an extensive network of highways, railways, and the General Leobardo C. Ruiz International Airport.
Zacatecas leads Mexico's agricultural production of beans, chile peppers, and guava, while simultaneously operating substantial mineral extraction facilities.
