By Invitation only This year we'll travel south to the Peten territory of Guatemala, a seldom visited and very magical place. We will travel along the Caribbean coast to the Mayan jungle town of Flores, on Lake Peten-Itza.
Small towns surround the lake and are serviced by dugout canoes and a few motor launches.
This dense jungle area, a United Nations Preserve, is home to many exotic animals and plant species. Up the coast is the white sandy beach resort of Tulum, where we'll relax for the last three days, beach-bumming and shopping, before returning to the States with new perspectives gleaned from our adopted village, San Andreas, Guatemala. Each day we will study different animals that share their habitat with us. We will learn about the hawk, raccoon, coyote, bear, deer, beaver, porcupine, and mountain lion. Learn about where they live, what they eat, and how they protect themselves.
