Lagunas de Montebello Biosphere Reserve

UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, inscribed 2009, in Mexico. Montebello lies between the physiographic region of the High Plain of Chiapas and the Gulf Coastal Plain, part of the physiographic province of the Sierras de Chiapas and Guatemala. The region corresponds to Miranda’s floristic regions termed the “central massif” and the plains and slopes north of the central massif. Its physiography ranges from small drainage features to large trenches, with large caves and cavities of varied shapes and dimensions.
