    No, Mexico has jungle at the bottom, and some would describe everything north of the Darien gap as North America. It’s just not uncommon to treat Central America as something different

        Yeah it’s totally a common thing to not know. Especially us USians tend to think of Mexico as the northern deserts and central plateaus because that’s what’s close to us and where their capital is.
