Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has signed agreements with his Mexican counterpart, Felipe Calderon, on alternative fuels.
These focus on sharing technology for the production of biofuels such as ethanol. Brazil is the world's leading producer of ethanol from sugar cane.
President Lula's regional tour is intended to promote biofuels.
The Brazilian leader also urged Mexico to forge closer links with the South American trading bloc, Mercosur.
President Lula has been actively promoting ethanol as an eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels. From Mexico, President Lula travels on to Honduras, Nicaragua, Jamaica and Panama, where talks are also set to focus on biofuel development.
They all, except Mexico, import oil and President Lula has said they could save a lot of money by switching to biofuels.
