Mexico serves as a “bridge” between South and North America, making it a key transit corridor.

The map illustrates a combination of different factors that shape Mexico’s current geopolitical and social reality:

1. Migration routes the paths through which people move toward the northern border and the United States.
   
2. Irregular migration, drug trafficking, and smuggling
   
3. Presence of natural resources, industry, and infrastructure
   
4. Regional characteristics: urbanization, macrocéphaly (population concentration in the metropolitan region), deserts, and geographical barriers
   
5. Tourist zones and coastal regions
