The Sierra Madre del Sur is about 620 miles long (1000 km) and runs northwest-southeast along the south coast of Mexico.  It touches the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt.  Its highest mountain is 12,149 feet (3703 meters) above sea level.

There are pine-oak forests and  cloud forests in the Sierra Madre del Sur.  Many animals and plants live there.  Scientists call this biodiversity.
