Mexico Parks & Wildlife
Mexico City lies nestled in the Basin of Mexico (the Valley of Mexico) and is surrounded by mountains and volcanoes. The subtropical climate has resulted in a rich variety of flora and fauna, thanks to its geographical location. The animals found are armadillos, porcupines, prairie moles, various species of birds. The parks here are few in number but are huge and perfect places to walk or relax.
Mexico City also offers theme parks like KidZania Santa Fe, Rancho Magico and the Six Flags Mexico City which is the largest theme park in South America.
