The Yucatan peninsula is a safe, welcoming, Mexican province where the Mayan people historically built great cities and continue to live today in an environment filled with stunning archaeology, an impressive diversity of birds and wildlife, and a friendly, traditional culture. Dr. Crutchfield, Dr. Paschal and 12 students explored the people, culture, food, flora, and fauna of the Yucatan, focusing on the tropical coastline known as the Mayan Riviera. Students will talk about their exploration of archaeological ruins, biosphere habitats of monkeys, sea turtles, exotic birds, Mayan culture, coral reefs, bat caves, beautiful warm beaches, and jungles on horseback. **SUSTAINABILITY CREDIT**
