Tehuantepec Isthmus
The Tehuantepec Isthmus is a narrow strip of land in southern Mexico, connecting the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. It is located in the state of Oaxaca and is approximately 200 kilometers long. This region is known for its diverse ecosystems, including tropical forests and coastal wetlands, and plays a significant role in trade and transportation.
The Isthmus is home to the Tehuantepec culture, which has a rich history and unique traditions. The area is also significant for its economic potential, as it is considered a strategic location for developing infrastructure projects, such as the proposed Trans-Isthmus Corridor, to enhance trade routes between the two oceans.
