Southern Mexico

Southern Mexico (Spanish: el Sur de México) is a region of Mexico. It most often comprises at least three states—Chiapas, Guerrero, and Oaxaca—collectively termed South-3. Other states are sometimes included, such as those on the Yucatán Peninsula or Michoacán, Puebla, Tabasco, and Veracruz. Southern Mexico is among the poorest regions of the nation, with high rates of poverty and low development.
