In this Biosphere Reserve, xerophytes comprise more than a third of the species detected there. This is followed by deciduous forest, which accounts for a quarter, and temperate forest. Significant is the presence of one of the few areas of cloud forest in Mexico.

BETWEEN VALLEYS AND CACTUS
Zapotitlan, Quiotepec and Oaxaca
Due to its biological evolution, it presents a wide variety of ecosystems, ranging from arid and semi-arid (the southernmost desert area in the country) to temperate and humid, encompassing multiple types of vegetation. The flora consists of 2,700 species identified to date, representing approximately 10% of all documented species in Mexico (30,000 species), of which up to 11% to 12% are endemic.

Tecomavaca and Quiotepec Oax.
In the north of the state of Oaxaca there is a geographical space, a narrow corridor between the Sierra Mazateca and the Mixteca-Chocholteca mountain range, where the beauty of the natural landscape prevents you from noticing that you are descending from 1,600 m, from the cold pine forest, to 500 m above sea level, and only the average temperature of 35 Celsius makes you feel the characteristic climate of the Cañada de Oaxaca. This region integrates the greater part of what is called the Tehuacán-Cuicatlán Biosphere Reserve, a land of endemic flora and fauna, with a notable abundance of cacti, such as the candelabra cardones (Pachycereus weberi) and the beautiful Military Macaw (Ara militaris) .
