Piʻi ka ʻāina ʻo Veracruz ma waena o nā wahi like ʻole, mai ka wela wela i nā mauna anuanu; mai ke kahawai Pánuco a i ke Tonalá; a mai ka Huasteca a i ka Isthmus.
Ua ʻauʻau ʻia kēia kahakai 780 km o ka ʻāina e ke awāwa ʻo Mexico a ua māhele ʻia i ʻekolu mau panalāʻau nui: ʻo ka Sierra Madre oriental, ka Neovolcanic Cordillera a me ke Kai Kūʻono ʻo Gulf, e hōʻike ana ma kahi o 80% o kona ʻili, kahi Puka mai kona ʻōnaehana eco ma ke ʻano he mokupuni o nā ululāʻau, ulu lāʻau, ʻāina wai a me kahi kai o nā wahi hānai.
E hoʻomaka i kahi huakaʻi, pono e mahalo i ka ʻāpana ʻākau e komo pū ana me ka Huasteca, kahi ʻāina ulu mau me nā wahi waiwai nui e like me ka Sierra de Chicontepec a me nā ipu o nā kahawai ʻo Pánuco, Tempoal a me Tuxpan. Ma ke kahakai, kū ka ulu lāʻau pāma a me nā mangrove i loko o ke kai ʻo Tamiahua a me nā mokupuni, ʻo El Ídolo, ʻo El Toro, ʻo Pájaros a me kekahi mau mokupuni liʻiliʻi. ma o Tecolutla a me Cazones nā kahawai i hoʻopuni ʻia e nā mangrove; ma ka Costa Smeralda, nā kahakai wela mahana; a ma nā wahi a puni, nā kuahiwi a me nā pāpū o Totatiraapan, e hoʻoulu mau ʻia me ka ʻaʻala o vanilla.
Uhi ʻia ka moku waena e kahi mosaic mea kanu tropical, ʻāpana o ke kahawai ʻo Metlac i ka Sierra de Zongolica, kahi e hui ai me nā mea ulu mauna o Cofre de Perote a me Pico de Orizaba. Hoʻololi ke ʻano i ke kapakai a ma ke alo o Port the Sacrificios, Verde a me En Medio Islands kū i waho, kahi e hui pū ai me ka National Marine Park Arrecifes de Veracruz, me ka nui o kona ola kai a me nā mea ʻoi o 29 o nā kahakai kūʻono.
Ma kahi iki o ka hema, ka ʻāina wai ʻo Alvarado kahi nui o nā bakau, puʻu, puʻu a me nā ulu lāʻau, i ʻae ʻia ai ka ʻike ʻana o nā manu kolone, nā honu a me nā ʻano manu semi-aquatic.
Ma ka ʻaoʻao i loko, ma Jalapa, Coatepec a me Jalcomulco, ua maʻa mau ke kaiapuni, nā mea kanu kope, nā pua ulu ulu, nā ferns a me nā lianas e lehulehu. Ma kona wahi nā kahawai nani o Texolo me kahi ʻano kūlohelohe nani e hoʻopuni ana i ke kaona ʻo Xico. ʻO nā kahawai ʻo Los Pescados, Actopan, Antigua a me Filobobos, me nā wai aniani a me waena o nā wahi kūlohelohe, e hoʻopuni ʻia e ka ululāʻau mau loa a ma lalo o ka lā wela mahana. Aia nā ululāʻau nui loa ma ka hema o ke awāwa ʻo Uxpanapa a me kahi ʻāpana o ke awāwa ʻo Zoque, kahi e hoʻopili ʻia ai nā ululāʻau nui loa i ka mokuʻāina, ʻoiai ka waiwai nui e pili ana i nā flora a me nā holoholona i loaʻa i ke kahawai ʻo Coatzacoalcos.
E hoʻopau i kahi pae o nā lua pele, nā wailele, nā lagoon a me nā kahawai i kapa ʻia ka huakaʻi ʻo Los Tuxtlas, kahi e hāʻawi ʻia ai nā wahi hoihoi nui.
He laʻana ʻo Catemaco: hoʻokumu ʻia kona waiwai kaiaola nui ma nā mokupuni ʻelua, Monos a me Las Garzas, ka Salto de Eyipantla, ka Nanciyaga Ecological Reserve a me nā kahakai ʻōmaʻomaʻo. Aia pū kekahi ma kahi o 700 mau ʻano manu a me nā ʻano holoholona like ʻole e pili pū ana me nā ʻano mea kanu like ʻole.
No kēia kumu, mai nā wahi kai ākea, nā wahi lua pele nui a hohonu o ke kai, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaka i kāu huakaʻi e ʻike i ka ʻāina waiwai o Veracruz.
