The unique and temperate subtropical highland climates are explained as high-altitude versions of their much hotter tropical rainforest and tropical monsoon/savannah brothers. As one rises in altitude, the air cools, taking the searing heat of the tropics down to pleasant temperatures reminiscent of Europe or North America.

These are the lands of the once great empires of the Aztecs and Inca of the Americas, and today host huge safari wildlands in Africa, and magnificent terraced farming in Asia.

Countries featured in this climate zone:
Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Ethopia, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, South Africa, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, China.
