The Baja California Peninsula and the Yucatán Peninsula are the two major peninsulas in Mexicon. Baja California is comprised of the two Mexican states Baja California North and Baja California South. The Yucatán Peninsula is comprised of three states of Mexico and parts of Belize and Guatemala.
There are two important peninsulas in Mexico:
The Baja California Peninsula, located on northwestern Mexico, is a long but slim peninsula that stretches along 1,250 Kilometers (775 miles) from the San Diego-Tijuana border down to Cabo San Lucas, and is separated from mainland Mexico by the Gulf of California (also known as Sea of Cortes). It has a rather arid climate (Köppen BWh: Warm, Desertic) as most of the peninsula falls within the Sonoran desert limits, but has occasional fertile valleys on which grape and citric fruits are grown, such as the Valle de Guadalupe, one of the largest wine countries in Mexico. There are two federal states along this peninsula: Baja California (capital Mexicali) and Baja California Sur (capital La Paz). Some of the most important cities include Tijuana (1,483,992), Mexicali (902,983) and Los Cabos (164,162).
The Yucatan Peninsula, located on southeastern Mexico, is a triangular peninsula that separates the Gulf of Mexico from the Caribbean Sea. With a tropical savanna climate (Köppen Aw), it is mostly a flat land composed of limestone. Due to this nature, there are almost no surface rivers in the peninsula and most water comes from holes in the ground known as cenotes. It is a place known for being home of the ancient Mayan civilization, with beautifull remains of cities such as Chichen Itza and Tulum; however many of these ruins are covered by the thick vegetation that characterizes the region. It is also believed that the Chicxulub crater, covering almost half of the peninsula, is the site of the crater impact that killed the dinosaurs some 65 million years ago. There are three federal states on this peninsula: Campeche (capital: Campeche), Yucatan (capital Merida) and Quintana Roo (capital Chetumal). Some of the most important cities include Campeche (791,322), Merida (734,153) and Cancun (526,701).
