In Brazil, in the early days of European settlement the main area was the NE where they could grow sugar, in those days the most profitable use for a New World colony. Import slaves, export sugar. Climate-based choice. Plus the advantage of being on the coast for trade. Later on the SE became more populous and much more prosperous. Still on the coast (easiest place to trade from in the days of sailing ships) (/before infrastructure of roads/railways had been built). Healthier climate, better soil, not so dry. The interior is still much more thinly populated. The Amazon jungle is thick, full of dangerous beasts, hot and sticky, and it rains a lot. Not an easy place to develop agriculture or industry. Extractive industries obviously go where the resource is, so there are mining towns in otherwise remote regions, and also, indeed especially, in the state of Minas Gerais which has the natural resources (minerals) and also is relatively close to domestic markets (the Sao Paulo/Rio/Brasilia triangle) and ports. Mexico - people don't live in the desert much, because neither the pre-Columbian indigenous Mexicans nor the European late-medieval conquerors/immigrants had any technology or desire to do so. In the pre-industrial centuries, where the corn grows well is where the people lived. Mexico City on the high plateau as a central market-town gathering-place convenient for administration yet also fertile and with a nice enough climate. Later Guadelajara and other cities also grew on the Plateau. More recently some cities have grown big on the US border just because of the artificial line - Ciudad Juarez, Tijuana, Nuevo Laredo etc are where they are entirely because of the poitical/military forces that put the frontier where it is. US businesses set up there to take advantage of lower wages in Mexico (maquiladora) to make or assemble goods as near to US markets as they could while still being in Mexico, and export them to the US. Some Mexicans also moved to these cities so they could live in Mexico and work (legally or illegally) in cities close to but on the US side of the border such as San Diego and El Paso (again, typically for lower wages than Americans would accept). Cancun is where it is because the sea is warm the beaches are beautiful, it has the natural resources for a holiday resort (= what Americans call a "vacation destination").
