GEOGRAPHY

The volcano and canyon

This is a highly privileged area due to the contrast in elevation between the two most notable points in the area, the Tequila Volcano and the Santiago River Canyon. This region is called Valles, derived from its location at the foothills of two mountain ranges (Transversal Volcanic System or Neovolcanic Axis and Sierra Madre Occidental). The territorial extension of the Valles Region is 5,891 km2, covering 12 municipalities, which represents 7.3 percent of the total state area and positions it as a mid-sized geographical area in relation to the rest of the state of Jalisco.
