From dense tropical rain forests to barrier reefs, ancient Mayan civilizations to modern day Mexican villages, the Yucatan is a celebration of ecological and cultural diversity. Join us in the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve: home to the second biggest barrier reef in the world and one of the few large tracts of lowland tropical rain forest left in Central America.
Jaguars, crocodiles, spider monkeys, tapirs, leatherback turtles, more than 330 species of birds, hundreds of species of fish, and approximately 1,000 human beings call Sian Ka’an home. The Yucatan: The Mayan Jungle workshop brings conservation and sustainable development to life as we explore the social, ecological, and environmental issues facing this incredible region. Preparatory curriculum studies everything from Mayan culture and history to tropical ecology and conservation.
