Environmental Studies in Central America
Students interested in tropical biology and environmental studies can participate in our trips to the beautiful countries of Central America. We have been to Belize, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica and southern Mexico.
Our last trip in May of 2008 was to the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico. We visited several Mayan cities, stayed with college students in Valladolid, explored the city of Merida, hiked through the dry forest to see howler and spider monkeys, and swam in the canals of Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve.
We visited Costa Rica in May of 2007. We hiked in rainforests and cloud forests, observed an active volcano, and were raided by monkeys on a boat trip through the mangroves.
