Geographically, the planetary band understood between the parallel Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, it is defined as A Tropical Zone.
The location of our country in this region him awards tropical characteristics to his ecological environment: forests, hydrographic network, soils and climate.
The fauna and the flora that one adapts to these conditions, are therefore, of tropical type. The tropical climate of our country, is modified by different factors as the relief, the situation with regard to the continent, the oceanic influence and the general traffic of the atmosphere.
