Mexico has a large number of volcanoes, but the exact number of active ones is debated. Here's a breakdown:

* ~14: This is often cited as the number of active volcanoes in Mexico. This includes those that have erupted in recent history or show signs of unrest.

* ~3,000: This is the total number of volcanoes in Mexico, but many are extinct or dormant.

Therefore, while there are thousands of volcanoes in Mexico, only around 14 are considered active based on recent activity or potential for eruption.
